It's still a good idea to get into the habit of writing secure code
anyway.

What does the script above do then?
It reads a file, strips the CR characters, and writes it to /tmp/trimmed,
overwriting any existing file (and overwriting the target of a symlink
called /tmp/trimmed)

I stand by my opinion that noone should use /tmp for temporary files like
that, even on a single-user machine.
