[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | GnuTLS leaks file descriptors in child processes (#985)

[Development of GNU's TLS library]

Yes, you are right, fork and exec are two different pais of shoes. Forking a MT application needs application logic to deal with e.g. write-open files (not suddenly having two processes writing into the same file). And that is a different issue than the exec() one, leaking file descriptors.
