   The above fcntl() is highly bogus. I suspect that the main problem is that
the process group/PID (third argument to fcntl) wasn't specified, or a pointer
to it was specified rather than the actual value (i.e. it wasn't dereferenced).
...but why you would want to do an F_SETOWN on /dev/null is also a little
strange.
