This code was brought up a few months ago [1]. The return value is ignored because, as STDIN_FILENO is 0 and has just been closed, the returned new file descriptor must be 0. A number of us think that the implicitness here is a mistake, and that dup2 should be used instead of close & dup, but the devs apparently disagree.
