See $URL and bug 235770.
Comment 1 Christian Hoffmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-26 19:28:55 UTC 
Confirmed in version 1.3.0_rc1. File: /usr/bin/asciiview
Line 6: rm $file
Line 10, 70, 73: Piping output to $file
Line 59: mkfifo $file (will probably just fail if already existing, program execution continues anyway)
