>Description:
The file descriptors in the BUFF API are dead and do not work when opened into a FILE * variable using fdopen().
Example, I tried that in mod_cgi:
starting of the func ... FILE *myfile;

if ( ( myfile = fdopen ( script_in -> fd , "r" ) ) == NULL )
{
  puts ( "error opening handle" );
  return OK;
}

I also tried script_in -> fd_in ... as I was on Windows, it prited the error back on the console screen. I also tried script_out -> fd and fd_in, and resulted in assuming that you have problem with your BUFF api...

All I am trying to do is convert a BUFF into FILE *
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Don't destroy the fd and fd_in handles if you destroy them....
