I'm going to apply all your patches except the two that deal with file
descriptors. The functions should not be closing file descriptors that they
did not open. The real fix there is to remove where it does close the file
descriptors and move the closing in the error paths of the callers.

I must have gotten lazy and just let the functions do the closing when they
failed, but that is just prone to bugs.
