Public bug reported:
The options "fdin=x,fdout=y" are used to create file descriptors in order to
have scripts that are executed via EXEC communicate with the socket.
After heaps of debugging, I noticed that the output file descriptor is never
actually opened by socat (although it says otherwise).
Please see the output of socat and the corresponding script, which executes
"filan" to display currently open FDs.
You can see that FD3 is open and input is processed. However, when
writing to FD4, the error message "Bad file descriptor" appears (not
shown in log). FD4 is clearly never opened (what would have been
expected behaviour)
