Well, my initial concern was that dup() creates an inheritable file descriptor. 
It is unlikely that fork() occurs while is_valid_fd() is called, because 
is_valid_fd() is only called early during Python initialization.

Replacing dup() with _Py_dup() would be overkill: _Py_dup() releases the GIL 
and raises an exception, which is not needed here.

I'm closing the issue. I will reopen it if I find a simple solution to this 
non-issue :-)
