And where is the closefrom() call in the demonstrated trace?

What version of the system do you use?
You need at least cbdec8db18b533f6d7be (on HEAD) or a5659943e37a74c96e
(stable/13) for pdfork() to behave sanely.  But you still not allowed to
call non-async signal safe functions in the child before exec.
