I don't know; I think it may predate emacs_close,
but no matter, I checked in what I assume is a fix
in trunk bzr 113605, and am boldly closing the bug;
please feel free to reopen it if the fix doesn't work.
A couple of things. First, callproc.c and process.c are rife
with race condition bugs that leak file descriptors and/or
files. I'll try to compose a fix for that.
Second, any chance of getting mkostemp or at least mkstemp
working on Microsoft platforms? Surely mktemp is inherently
prone to races.
