If you can get this done, great!  I think it is the most complete way to
fix this bug since it also handles future (currently unknown and
arguably broken) tools that also set shared file descriptors to a
non-blocking status, as well as making the
stdio-always-blocks-and-no-data-sent-will-be-lost functionality
available to other applications that may need it.
