i'm sorry. mine was not the case.
and after some digging, it is found that fd[6] is *closed* before pclose.

i think fltk have bad behavior which use fclose to close pipe fd, but it 
should have used pclose. so closing disposed fd yields sigsegv.
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/pclose.html
we should inspect fltk's glps_renderer::draw(graphics_object const&) for 
this strange behavior.
