Hello,

findutils-4.4.0/find/testsuite/find.gnu/xtype-symlink.exp reads
---------------
exec rm -rf tmp
exec mkdir tmp
exec touch tmp/file
exec ln -s file tmp/LINK
exec ls -l tmp > /tmp/z
find_start p {tmp/LINK  -xtype f }
exec rm -rf tmp
---------------

Afaict the "ls -l tmp > /tmp/z" serves no purpose, so deleting the
line would get rid of the unsecure tempfile.

thanks, cu andreas
