IIRC, DJ requested some more changes in Randy's code, and Randy never
submitted them.

I also recall vaguely that the more we discussed this issue, the more

I forgot the details, and perhaps some of the problems are non-issues
now that we dup the handle inside __FSEXT_alloc_fd instead of opening
the null device.
