This is 12.2-p11. I just noticed that I wrote 11.2 above, that is =
incorrect.

Frame 7 is a call to closefrom(). The child process calls dup2(), =
closefrom(), signal() and then execv(). No other calls are made, and I =
believe closefrom() is meant to be async signal safe.

The commit you can apply cleanly to 12.2, I=E2=80=99m running a build =
now. Are there other issues with pdfork in 12.2?

Jan M.
