In UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2, this bug DOES NOT EXIST.  UNIX System V/386
Release 3.2 allows 60 file descriptors so after 0,1,2 (stdin, stdout, stderr)
are gone, we really have 57 file descriptors.  I ran this test to see if UNIX
System V/386 Release 3.2 had the bug at 58 and it does not!

Sincerely,

John Urban
