Doesn't SystemExec() (see tools.c) take care of this?
Yes you are right - it takes care internally but not for plugins like dvdswitch etc. In order to fix this problem you could patch every single plugin or just set the right file descriptor flag once. I think the latter does not cause any interference and should solves some issues.
For the record, the latter creates a small race condition: an external program could be launched before FD_CLOEXEC is set on an fd.
In VDR all file descriptors seem to be allocated at startup. IMHO it is not very likely that a race condition could happen.
... except on dvr devices, I know.
