You have a point somewhere. But unfortunately there is no good way for
libuuid to get a list of opened FDs and close them all except its own
sockets when launching uuidd.
What you should do instead: create your own sockets with O_CLOEXEC (or
use fcntl F_SETFD to set that flag on your open descriptors). Available
since linux 2.6.23; see open(2) man page for details. Your sockets will
then be closed automatically in the child process when it will execute
uuidd.
Marking invalid "wontfix".
