Sorry I did not report the problem very well. The trouble is not with
fork itself but with open-process, which is not actually part of the
runtime but rather part of ice-9 popen module.
Perhaps an object property could be added:
;; The property that @code{execl} uses to decide how to handle
;; an open port. If the value is @code{#t}, do @code{close-port}
;; on it. If a procedure, call that procedure with the port.
;; If @code{#f} or never specified, do nothing.
;;
(define close-on-exec (make-object-property))
Example usage:
(define port (open-input-file "COPYING"))
(set! (close-on-exec port) #t)
