Thank you Marcin. You saved me the bother of replying to Bryan with
basically the same thing. Your proposed change is indeed what I was
thinking of. I guess I didn't explain that too well to Bryan.

And yes Bryan, what you wrote is absolutely correct: you can't safely
pass CRT fd's, but then too that's not really what I was proposing to
do. What I was proposing to do is pretty much exactly what Marcin
coded. I just botched things badly trying to explain it.

You're very welcome.

I'm just sorry I didn't explain myself too well but I guess that's
okay since Bryan was kind enough to clear things up for me. (Thanks
Bryan!)

Good question.
