We should be able to inotify_init() earlier in the process to avoid this issue.

inotify_init can return 1025 even if called first thing, so we also need to dup2 the result of early inotify_init down to 3 (or whatever), or at least to check that it's less than 1024. Choosing 3 is a tricky business, since it's not clear what fds the C library actually needs.
