Answering myself while kicking the head on the wall

the SIGSEV on 4026 is obvious as fh is NULL

(gdb) p fh
$7 = (fhandler_pipe *) 0x0
(gdb) p fp
$8 = (FILE *) 0x20204f94

Question:
is a mistake in pclose to assume that fh could be invalid

or something is just trashing cygheap->fdtab ?

Regards
Marco
