Linus, Andrew,
please revert 1ad3dcc0. That was a patch to the binfmt_flat loader,

EMFILE when the file descriptor table is full.
The patch is buggy: the code now keeps file descriptors open for the
executable and its libraries, which has confused at least one
application. It's also unnecessary, since there is no code that uses
the file descriptor, so the new EMFILE error return is totally artificial.
The reversion is

Bernd
