+Summary: Orphaned pipes when redirecting stdout on a failed Process.Start()
+
+Pipes are left around and uncloseable if you redirect standard output on a
+process and the file being executed doesn't exist.  If you do this enough
+times, you run out of file descriptors.
+
+ls /proc/<pid>/fd:
+lr-x------ 1 joe users 64 2006-02-09 13:59 6 -> pipe:[134503]
+...
+lr-x------ 1 joe users 64 2006-02-09 13:59 1022 -> pipe:[135935]
+
+
+I'm attaching a test case which shows this.
