Some fd_close_on_exec(0, ..) call failed. I checked them all through, I
can't think of a reason why it should ever return "bad file descriptor".

Maybe it's some glibc/linux 2.0 bugginess..

You could try commenting those fd_close_on_exec calls from
src/master/*.c and seeing which one does it.

Maybe related to above but can't be sure. Shouldn't really happen.

Run autogen.sh first.
