I'm not sure I understand what you are asking.  Are you asking how to
test that the standard handles aren't inherited by subprocesses?

I'm not talking about testing the broken build: it's known to be
broken.  I'm talking about testing the fixed build: the fragile dance
we do with the standard streams is there for a reason, and we need to
make sure the modified code does the job as well.

Btw, I still don't think I've seen the patch you are want to test, so
I don't even know if it's clean and correct by itself.
