Hi Andrew, Linus,

The attached patch fixes a minor problem with fcntl.

get_close_on_exec() uses FD_ISSET() to determine the fd state. However,
FD_ISSET() does not return 0 or 1 on all archs. On some it returns 0 or non-0,
which is fine by POSIX.

Also, the argument of set_close_on_exec() is being AND'ed with literal 1. This
is incorrect - there's no requirement for FD_CLOEXEC to be 1.

This is also wrong on 2.4 kernels.

David
