WebSec uses temp files since 1.8.0 this bug can be closed.

The websec script defines the following temporary files:

$outgoing     = "$base/index.html";
$page_current = "$base/retrieve.html";

When multiple instances are run in parallel (with different config files, e.g. from cron), these files are overwritten and webdiff might diff the wrong files (from the other running instance).

I suggest to use one of the functions in File::Temp to create unique temporary files.

If something is not clear, contact me at hodaniel at student dot ethz dot ch.
