dup2: work around cygwin bug
Detected by './gnulib-tool --test dup2 cloexec'. Reported upstream: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-12/msg00377.html and fixed already: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2012-q4/msg00202.html but as we want to work with older cygwin, we'll have to carry this in gnulib for a while. * m4/dup2.m4 (gl_FUNC_DUP2): Flush out cygwin core dump. * lib/dup2.c (rpl_dup2): Work around it. * doc/posix-functions/dup2.texi (dup2): Document it. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
