Hi,
    Close-on-exec flag is not honored when spawn*() is used 
to exec a process.  Test case follows.

                                     Tim N.


---- setfd.c ----
#include <process.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>

main()
{
    int pid, i, x[5];

    for(i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        x[i] = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
        if(x[i] == -1) {
            perror("socket");
            return -1;
        }
        if(fcntl(x[i], F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) == -1) {
            perror("f_setfd");
            return -1;
        }
        printf("%d\n", x[i]);
    }

    pid = spawnl(_P_NOWAIT, "./envargs", "envargs", 0);
    printf("pid %d\n", pid);
    return 0;
}

---- envargs.c : compile as envargs.exe ----

print_list(char **l)
{
    int i;

    for(i = 0; l[i]; i++) {
        printf("    [%d] %s\n", i, l[i]);
    }
    return;
}

    print_list(argv);

    printf("open files: ");
    for(i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
        if(i == 1 || close(i) == 0)
            printf("%d ", i);
    }
    printf("\n");

    return 0;
