Comment (by duncan):
So according to the
[http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6428742 JVM bug
report] we can make `CreateProcess.close_fds` work except when also trying
to redirect stdin/out. Currently we do not attempt to make it work at all.
And on Vista we can make it work even when redirect stdin/out.
So it seems like we both need to make new handles (eg from opening files
and sockets) non-inheritable and implement the above tricks.
This all looks quite doable but will need some careful testing.
