Thanks for your feedback. 

Modified patch all the way below ;)

I think it is, but 'usage' is indeed neater. Done.

Done

Changed to '2>', tested with zsh, ksh and bash.

Done and moved

Changed to 'origtemplate'

Jep, thanks, didn't know that one. Changed.

I thought strlen() would be a bit neater/more readable - but changed.

Changed.

Verified the testcases still succeed. 

The patch below:
- copies the original template to the stack, to be able to log it in case
  mkstemp clears it
- on failure, logs the modified template, if any, or the original one
- logs the CWD when the template is relative
- adds a test testing this gives sane output (and doesn't crash, etc)
