CVE-2016-3992

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=820331

From: Dmitry Nezhevenko 

It looks like cronic uses very predictable temporary files (like
/tmp/cronic.out.$$) that depends only on PID:

	OUT=/tmp/cronic.out.$$
	ERR=/tmp/cronic.err.$$
	TRACE=/tmp/cronic.trace.$$

	set +e
	"$@" >$OUT 2>$TRACE
	RESULT=$?
	set -e
