Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-enlightenment
mailing list <enlightenment at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 238677: devel/efl: Leaks event monitor fds into child processes
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238677



--- Description ---
Please see the full report text in this upstream issue:
https://phab.enlightenment.org/T7486

The fix is trivial -- add O_CLOEXEC to an open.  I thought upstream might fix
it, but it does not appear they will.  So we might consider patching it in
ports.

The patch to fix is totally trivial:
