Research direction
Start with the linked commit and its referenced review comment to understand the removed closefrom(3) behavior. Trace the file-descriptor closing path and reproduce the issue with descriptors above 100. Done means descriptors above 100 are closed again without regressing lower-numbered descriptors.
