Thanks for the patch, but it works around the bug and doesn't fix its
root cause. Laurent was correct when analysing this a few years ago,
thanks for that

Here's how to reproduce:
$ mkdir -p bug/log
$ cat <<EOT >bug/run && chmod 755 bug/run
#!/bin/sh
exec sleep 14
EOT
$ cat <<EOT >bug/log/run && chmod 755 bug/log/run
#!/bin/sh
exec sleep 47
EOT
$ runsv ./bug &
[1] 2016
$ sv x ./bug
$ sv u ./bug
runsv ./bug: fatal: unable to setup filedescriptor for ./run: file descriptor not open
...
runsv was told to exit, but does not do so until service and log service
have terminated. It sent TERM to the service, closed the pipe and so
standard input of the log service, and expects it to terminate now. If
the log service doesn't do so, and runsv is asked to startup the service
again, that it was previously told to take down and then exit, the bug
accurs as the pipe is no longer available.
Regards, Gerrit.
