Thanks for testing.

Although whether _exit closes file descriptors or not is
implementation-dependent, the current Emacs code seems to assume that
it always does (in its supported platforms).  If so, close before
_exit and the changes to callproc.c in my previous patch can be
removed.  I'll install a simplified one later.
