Actually, I went down to bisect where the problem was fixed, and I found it:

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/2fb032b74be9f306fbd2f95d85f8352f4a6027d6

So it turns out it's fixed in Ruby v2.0, but not v1.9, so this is not "rejected", it should be "already fixed in v2.0", and maybe you would want to backport the fix.

FTR. This is the error I get before the patch:

It seems fd redirecton only works with spawn, not with fork+exec (at least for fd 3).

% ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p327 (2012-11-10 revision 37606) [x86_64-linux]

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

tmp = File.new('/tmp/foo', File::CREAT | File::WRONLY)
cmd = ['echo', 'yes']

pid = Process.spawn(*cmd, 3 => tmp)
Process.wait(pid)

pid = fork do
  Process.exec(*cmd, :close_others => true, 3 => tmp)
end
Process.wait(pid)
