I just tried that again, and remebered why the 'debug it' approach won't
work.  The problem relies on a subprogram getting FD 3 or 4 assigned,
but
if you run the debugger, IT will get FDs 3 and 4 (the subprogram usually
starts at FD 8 or so).  So the issue might be manifesting in the
debugger,
but you won't be able to debug it there.
I'll try to get a minimal program put together over the weekend
(annoyingly,
a program that fopen()s a couple files and fprintf()s to them does not
show
any problems), and then add printfs to it (and libc) to (hopefully)
catch
the place where things go wrong.
