I just carried on reading about such issues, and it seems that the dup 
system call might offer some assistance with setting this whole thing 
up. I don't really get how you are supposed to pass on the new file 
descriptor to another process though, and the descriptions I have read 
(e.g. http://nscp.upenn.edu/aix4.3html/aixprggd/genprogc/fdescript.htm 
) are a little hard for an Erlang only sort of guy to comprehend..

More reading.
