Description (last modified by )
If a request in _eval_line of the gp interface cannot be executed due to lack of stack memory, the tmp file used to transfer results is blocked.
This is a workaround. We simple create a new file and trust in the system when it comes to cleaning the environement after GP has terminated.
See #11018 for a ticket for removing this workaround after finding a better solution (without reevaluating the GP code!)

A typical example is Dokchitser calculator, that can easily provoke a stack overflow in GP. Then the stack will be increase but the temporary file cannot be read anymore. More specifically, the test on line 760 after applying trac-11024-dokchitser.patch fails for this very reason.
