Yikes!  That's pretty impenatrable.  And if it says what I think it says,
it seems to violate the way I've understood Unix fork() and how fds 
(and stdio buffers) are inherited since forever.

However..

Do I understand that to say that if the first thing my child does is

	fclose(fp);

everything should be hunky-dory?

Because I just tried that, and it's still not.
