// All file descriptors that are opened in the Java process and not
// specifically destined for a subprocess should have the close-on-exec
// flag set. If we don't set it, then careless 3rd party native code
// might fork and exec without closing all appropriate file descriptors,
// and this in turn might:
//
// - cause end-of-file to fail to be detected on some file
// descriptors, resulting in mysterious hangs, or
//
// - might cause an fopen in the subprocess to fail on a system
// suffering from bug 1085341.
//
// (Yes, the default setting of the close-on-exec flag is a Unix
// design flaw)

// 1085341: 32-bit stdio routines should support file descriptors >255

//
// Modern Linux kernels (after 2.6.23 2007) support O_CLOEXEC with open().
// O_CLOEXEC is preferable to using FD_CLOEXEC on an open file descriptor
// because it saves a system call and removes a small window where the flag
// is unset. On ancient Linux kernels the O_CLOEXEC flag will be ignored
// and we fall back to using FD_CLOEXEC (see below).
