Please can you clarify this commit message. Questions I'm left with
after reading it:
* What is the relevance of "send it over network" here, why does
it matter what the output fd is? Or is this something to do with
the lack of an input fd (in which case where does the incoming
data come from?)
* Why can datacopier not currently be used in this case, what
actually goes wrong?
* What is the nature of the update which makes it work? (possibly
becomes obvious after the previous answers)
Thanks.
Ian.
