4.1) Why do I get an E_HANDLECLOSED error in a forked child?

You may use Paradise operations from within forked processes normally. The only limitation concerns open handles that were inherited from the parent process. These handles are automatically closed by the Paradise system, and {\em must} be reopened before any other operations are performed on them. Failure to do this will cause an E_HANDLECLOSED error.
