// It's common practice to install file descriptors into well known slot
20
// numbers before execing a child; stdin, stdout and stderr are ubiqutous
23
// However, when using a zygote model, this becomes troublesome. Since the
24
// descriptors which need to be in these slots generally aren't known, any code
25
// could open a resource and take one of the reserved descriptors. Simply
26
// overwriting the slot isn't a viable solution.
28
// We could try to fill the reserved slots as soon as possible, but this is a
29
// fragile solution since global constructors etc are able to open files.
31
// Instead, we retreat from the idea of installing descriptors in specific
32
// slots and add a layer of indirection in the form of this singleton object.
33
// It maps from an abstract key to a descriptor. If independent modules each
34
// need to define keys, then values should be chosen randomly so as not to
