For my education: why can't we set the O_CLOEXEC/FD_CLOEXEC flag on these file descriptors? This would - presumably - automatically close the fds *after* any thread from the "old process" code could possibly use them, but *before* any code of the new process (after exec()) executes? -- Lionel _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
