I forgot to mention that I'm aware this particular case can still be
handled by Process B using dup2(). As I said, it's not particularly
imaginative... I can't think of a _good_ example where dup2() can't be
used off the top of my head, but I have a feeling that there may be at
least one good case to serve as an example--if I remember it, I'll post
it.
