Why DJB put this line in? If you run this program from command line, 0,1,2
are open. If you run from inetd, it dups 2 and 1 fom 0 (eg. 2 is alive).
Tcpserver does a good emulation of command line. I don't know why this line
exists in the code.

Error catch points:
login, stat, commands: qmail-pop3d
