It's also a pretty good way of assuring file name uniqueness to avoid
clobbering a real file. It's unlikely any regular file would be strangely
named like this.
I have to admit to STRAnge.tmp.$$ filenames at times to be sure of this.
EvErY other letter is a real bear to type, though...

Dig around in /tmp and /var/tmp .. this is by far not the only place
that Netbackup uses these types of filenames. They have been doing it
for quite awhile. Guess somebody's idea of internal humor. Just don't be
alarmed.
