Good point. I'll add a patch on top of this one to close both of them.

No need. The OS will close them for you when the application exits. All
file descriptors that are opened will be closed by the OS.

That said, we should probably add O_CLOEXEC in the open for them such that
they don't stay open if the application does an exec() system call.
