oh, sounds annoying.. We opened a pipe for STDERR at some point. The
data read from this pipe is sent to the logging callbacks, so exec
plugins can complain about stuff in the standard way. Maybe this would
even be appropriate for your purpose..

Nonetheless, I think closing STDERR should be allowed. I'll see to get
this sorted out.. Thanks for the pointer :)
