If an error occurs when or after closing the stream we call fclose(3) again in the error handler. The second call can exhibit undefined behavior, so make sure to call fclose(3) at most once. Also avoid calling close(2) after fd has been successfully associated with the stream, as fclose(3) has become responsible for doing that beyond this point. Found with Cppcheck.
