---------------------------------
It seems to me inefficient to keep doing the fdopen() in the called subroutine.
Why not just have the upper level daemon do a fdopen() ONCE, or have it do a
fopen() instead of open(), and then call the subroutine repeatedly with the
stream pointer?  The subroutine would then just have to do fseek(stream,0L,0)
and start using getc(), instead of using lseek() and then mucking around with
fdopen() and dup() and file descriptors.
