What am I getting myself into?

$ cat foo.c
#include <stdio.h
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  printf ("%d ", getdtablesize());
  if (argc > 1)
    printf ("%d ", dup2 (0, getdtablesize() - 1));
  printf ("%d\n", dup2 (0, getdtablesize()));
  return 0;
}
$ gcc -o foo -Wall -g foo.c
$ ./foo
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ strace -o /dev/null ./foo
256 256

Heisenbug!  The very act of trying to trace it makes it disappear :(

$ ./foo 1
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ strace -o /dev/null ./foo 1
  22687 [main] foo 2020 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to
foo.exe.stackdump

probably some off-by-one at a boundary case, but not as simple as I had
originally hoped it would be.
