This is overly restrictive.  It is common for
the child process to call dup2 and close after
fork and before exec.

The standard says only fork-safe functions (which
are also async-signal safe) may be called after
fork.  I am sure you know this.  I just wanted to
clarify this point because your comment was not
clear.
