opening those two fds as close-on-exec to begin with. */

marked close-on-exec, and if the application undoes this, then
the fd leaks into subsequent popen calls. We could work around
this by maintaining a list of all fd's opened by popen, and
temporarily marking them cloexec around the real popen call, but
we would also have to override pclose, and the bookkeepping seems
extreme given that cygwin 1.7 no longer has the bug. */

way, popen's internal use of pipe() will not contain either fd 0
or 1, overcoming the fact that the child process blindly calls
close() on the parent's end of the pipe without first checking
whether it is clobbering the fd just placed there via dup2(); the
exec will get rid of the dummy fd's in the child. Fortunately,
closed stderr in the parent does not cause problems in the
