>Description:
close_all_fds() is called just before execing uuidd which results
in a uuidd start with no file descriptors open. This is not
expected and results in uuidd accidently closing the socket
it just opened when it becomes a daemon.
See also ports/134526 and ports/134535.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Don't close descriptor 0, 1 and 2 or close and re-open with
/dev/null. Since uuidd is invoked in a manner that will
result in it closing these descriptors I choose the former.
