I'm sorry but this is not a fix.  It's a workaround.  I would not accept
a patch which just made sockets ignore the close-on-exec problem.

I applaud the fact that Mark took the time to figure out what was going
on, though.  That is extremely rare.  It would be great if someone could
figure out how to make this work correctly.
