-# it turns out that having either apache (when invoked through xmlrpc)
-# or root (when running plcsh directly) run this piece of code is
-# problematic. In fact although we try to create intermediate dirs
-# with mode 777, what happens is that root's umask in the plc chroot
-# jail is set to 0022.
-#
-# the bottom line is, depending on who (apache or root) runs this for
-# the first time, we can access denied issued (when root comes first)
-# so probably we'd better implement a scheme where files are stored
-# directly under /var/tmp or something
-#
-# in addition the sequels of a former run (e.g. with a non-empty
-# filename) can prevent subsequent runs if the file is not properly
-# cleaned up after use, which is generally the case if someone invokes
-# this through plcsh and does not clean up
-# so maybe a dedicated cleanup method could be useful just in case
