Right, I wouldn't even think of messing with the flags of a file 
descriptor that I don't control. I only intended to set the 
close-on-exec bit, which isn't a flag. One letter makes a huge 
difference *shrug*. Why do you set it non-blocking, though? Does 
that offer some advantage over select()ing on it (other than 
brevity)?
