I missed that.

I checked into CVS a fix that makes it properly detach from the tty (at
least it does on my Linux and Solaris 8 box) and also dup2's 0,1 and 2
and closes them off. I suspect the comment in env.c about weird things
happening if you close them is because with no 0,1 or 2 present, future
fd's will happily re-use them otherwise, and yes, weird things can
happen.

Attatched is a patch...
