I looked into this "w+bTD" verses "W+B".

The purpose of this code is to open an identical type of temporary file on
all OS. This particular problem is, of course, in Microsoft specific code
working with previous versions, but not with Visual C++ 2005.

The very latest documentation at MS with a 2005 time stamp on it lists "T"
and "D" as valid Microsoft specific options to _fdopen. This therefore
smells like a bug at MS. Nevertheless, the proposed change appears to work -
not creating any permanent files on the disk. This is probably because
roughly equivalent options are specified to the preceding open().

We have committed the suggested change - ETA R3.14.8.
