A fix is provided to get solve the crash when mktemp() is
called with a read-only string.

A better solution to problems of this sort is the following:
Change:
char *action_file_name = "/tmp/flexXXXXXX";
to:
char action_file_name[] = "/tmp/flexXXXXXX";
This is simpler and faster than malloc'ing a copy.
