No. I'm saying that dbusbind.c uses add_write_fd and add_read_fd, which
are defined in process.c.

I don't believe that file descriptors of other subprocesses will provide
data for dbusbind.c. The registered file descriptors for D-Bus use the
callback xd_read_queued_messages, and only this callback reads the data
from the file descriptors, and generates D-Bus events.

This looks stable to me, and this architecture exists for many years.

Best regards, Michael.
