Oh god, LGTM |
Fix parallel/test-stdio-closed introduced in commit b5f25a9 ("src:
ensure that file descriptors 0-2 are valid") to not keep spawning
child processes ad infinitum.
The test spawns itself as a child process but a missing return statement
made the child process spawn itself again, and again, and again.
It went unnoticed for some time because the child process exits almost
immediately afterwards, i.e. it didn't fill up the process table. The
observable effect was an iojs process that was quietly consuming CPU
cyles in the background with a PID that was constantly changing.

The CI matrix isn't 100% green (well, blue) but the failures look unrelated to this PR. Another PR I have open also sees a lot of spurious failures so I'm chalking it up to CI instability. |

Thanks Ben. I experienced this problem on my machine after running the tests recently. |
