Comment (by duncan):
Replying to [comment:1 Baughn]:
> If setting FD_CLOEXEC (close on exec) is picked, then.. since it has to
be set in a separate call after opening the FD, there is a potential race
condition if any other thread calls exec.
Note that on Linux, as of version 2.6.27, this can be done without any
race condition. See http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html
