What share the same file descriptor? MC and programs started from it?

All the processes started from your shell share at least fds 0, 1 and 2.

I thought after exec() fds atre either closed (if CLOEXEC) or
becoming independent from parent process
(i.e. it you seek, close, etc your fd, parent would not notice that).

Am I wrong?

I'm afraid so.  Seek position and flags are still shared after an
exec.

That's a bug, right? I couldn't find anything to that effect in IEEE Std. 1003.1, 2004 Edition...

Ciao,
