My two cents say, since the child is not referencing 'fp' at all,
there is no violation of the POSIX semantics in this situation. It
actually does seem, however, that the fork is closing, or at least
forgetting the stdio file position of, fp when it forks. A possible
memory corruption during fork from which fgets can not recover?
