New Revision: 229966
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/229966

Log:
  jilles pointed out that O_CLOEXEC could be used in the open(2) flags
  rather than using fcntl(2) later, and in addition to saving a system
  call, removes a possible race with fork/exec from threads or signal
  handlers.
