There is a lot to deal with here because:

  % grep ::set_close_on_exec *.cc
  fhandler.cc:fhandler_base::set_close_on_exec (bool val)
  fhandler_console.cc:fhandler_console::set_close_on_exec (bool val)
  fhandler_console.cc:  fhandler_base::set_close_on_exec (val);
  fhandler_socket.cc:fhandler_socket::set_close_on_exec (bool val)
  fhandler_socket.cc:  fhandler_base::set_close_on_exec (val);
  fhandler_tape.cc:fhandler_dev_tape::set_close_on_exec (bool val)
  fhandler_tape.cc:  fhandler_dev_raw::set_close_on_exec (val);
  fhandler_tty.cc:fhandler_tty_common::set_close_on_exec (bool val)
  fhandler_windows.cc:fhandler_windows::set_close_on_exec (bool val)
  fhandler_windows.cc:    fhandler_base::set_close_on_exec (val);

and even more importantly:

  % grep '^fhandler[a-z_0-9]*::dup' *.cc
  fhandler.cc:fhandler_base::dup (fhandler_base *child)
  fhandler_clipboard.cc:fhandler_dev_clipboard::dup (fhandler_base * child)
  fhandler_console.cc:fhandler_console::dup (fhandler_base *child)
  fhandler_dsp.cc:fhandler_dev_dsp::dup (fhandler_base * child)
  fhandler_fifo.cc:fhandler_fifo::dup (fhandler_base *child)
  fhandler_floppy.cc:fhandler_dev_floppy::dup (fhandler_base *child)
  fhandler_mem.cc:fhandler_dev_mem::dup (fhandler_base *child)
  fhandler_random.cc:fhandler_dev_random::dup (fhandler_base *child)
  fhandler_raw.cc:fhandler_dev_raw::dup (fhandler_base *child)
  fhandler_registry.cc:fhandler_registry::dup (fhandler_base *child)
  fhandler_serial.cc:fhandler_serial::dup (fhandler_base *child)
  fhandler_socket.cc:fhandler_socket::dup (fhandler_base *child)
  fhandler_tape.cc:fhandler_dev_tape::dup (fhandler_base *child)
  fhandler_tty.cc:fhandler_tty_slave::dup (fhandler_base *child)
  fhandler_tty.cc:fhandler_pty_master::dup (fhandler_base *child)
  fhandler_virtual.cc:fhandler_virtual::dup (fhandler_base * child)
  pipe.cc:fhandler_pipe::dup (fhandler_base *child)

I was thinking about a way of collapsing most of those into one generic
call.  But not for 1.7.1, obviously.
