Does this happen for all file decriptors, or only for file descriptors 0, 1, and 2? If the latter, then HP-UX mostly conforms to POSIX except for its weird behavior on 'read', as the POSIX spec for execlp says that if one of these file descriptors are closed, the execed process may see them open on an unspecified file.
