Patchew is correct.  All three things should be fixed (the missing S-o-b 
is most important - I can't supply that; the missing spaces and comment 
formatting are something I could touch up).

The comment could use some grammar help (s/parents/parent's/), and in 
truth, I don't think it adds much beyond what the code itself is already 
doing, so rather than adding another line to silence patchew, you could 
instead just eliminate the comment and life would still be fine.  Or if 
you want a one-line comment, I might suggest:

/* Remember parent's stderr if we will restoring it. */
