closefrom blocking, wchan urdlck

Hi,

(On 11.2)

I am occasionally seeing closefrom() block in a child process created by a call to pdfork().

When this does happen, it is very early after the process has started, while other threads are being created elsewhere in the process. I cannot reproduce it after the thread creation is complete. According to the sigaction man page, this should be async signal safe.

Stack trace from the call to closefrom():

Any suggestions on how to approach this?
