Hi,

After aptitude install multipath-tools, the freshly started daemon
holds on the aptitude-dpkg communication pipe:

# ls -l /proc/$(pgrep multipathd)/fd

lr-x------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:12 0 -> /dev/null

I think this pipe should be closed (just like a File trigger FD) before
spawning children.

Thanks,
Feri.
