Well, the test does appear to execute without error IFF the condition
the test is meant to exercise is not enforced (i.e. if the ulimit for
open FDs is not kept lower than the number of currently open FDs);
though I have not done any other kind of test to be sure the data sent
to a multi-digit FD is actually received from the given FD.
