On a fast system I would simply adapt to find of the newname exists and loop back to make a new one. Strangely enough running the old exe works if I use it with wine in a loop so at the binary level there is some function. Actually that won't work because it is not atomic. Unix has long had tempname functions. These have been replaced by mkstemp().
Remember, Linux is a multi-tasking system and the time functions are
generally not granular enough. (There are other time functions that are
more higher grained) than time().
