 Forks a child process, closes parent file descriptors as appropriate in the\n\
 child and dups the few that are needed before calling exec() in the child\n\
 process.\n\

 WARNING: preexec_fn is NOT SAFE if your application uses threads.\n\
          It may trigger infrequent, difficult to debug deadlocks.\n\
