IMHO it is no feasible solution to expect every file handle to be opened with FD_CLOEXEC. Even if VDR itself would do this, there could still be plugins that don't. I'd say if some plugin wants to run an external program, it needs to take care by itself that all unneeded file handles are closed. That's what SystemExec() is for.
