I think I did check, but there were no useful comments. if close()ing them before exec'ing is a problem, can't we just set the close-on-exec flag on the fd's ?
This will cause the descriptors to be dup'd for the fork, and the duplicates to be closed when the child execs; in theory, that will leave the parent in a fit and healthy state. --Wez.
