POPEN(III) in V7 Stdio
>From dpk.bmd70@BRL Sun Nov 22 10:08:20 1981
	I have been considering the possibility of closing down
all file descripters other than 0,1, and 2 when invoking a process
via popen().  Does anyone know of any reason not to make this
change?  Does anything depend on this "feature"?

				Cheers,
