Bug Description
A bug related to mktemp was reported to Percona Toolkit (bug 986151). The reporter found that the mktemp pattern needs six X characters to work on his platform. It is possible that a similar limitation could affect the monitoring plugins.
In addition, we should not hardcode the temp path to /tmp, but respect the TEMP environment variable.
As a result, it's best if we just call 'mktemp' with no arguments.

It seems that $TMPDIR isn't reliably set. We'll keep /tmp hardcoded.
