Only for the (rare) idiots among the listeners, this refers to file descriptors open(2)ed etc after a fork(2), but before the execve(2), which are configured with CLOFORK? If so, isn't this is very explicit configuration which' existence is possibly even desirable? I recognized that popen(3) has pretty generic talking on how standard descriptors should be configured for child processes while reading through this. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt) | |During summer's humble, here's David Leonard's grumble | |The black bear, The black bear, |blithely holds his own holds himself at leisure |beating it, up and down tossing over his ups and downs with pleasure | |Farewell, dear collar bear
