Symptoms:
	PHCO_28629:
	( SR: 8606294579 CR: JAGae58276)
	diff3(1) command leaves unwanted tmp files in /var/tmp.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_28629:
	( SR: 8606294579 CR: JAGae58276)
	The diff3(1) command creates temporary files in /var/tmp
	while processing the input files. These files are not
	cleaned up by diff3(1) upon exiting, which leads to
	unnecessary consumption of disk space

	This problem can reproduced as follows:

	     1. ls /var/tmp/d3*
	   	/var/tmp/d3* not found
	     2. cat file1
		line1
	     3. cat file2
		line2
	     4. cat file3
		line3
	     5. diff3 file1 file2 file3
		====
	   	1:1c
	     	  line 1
	   	2:1c
	     	  line 2
	   	3:1c
	   	  line 3
	     6. ls /var/tmp/d3*
	    	/var/tmp/d3c1071

	Resolution:
	diff3(1) has been modified to clean up temporary files
	before exit

Enhancement:
	No
