Being said that, the ruby case may suggest that we should be more

Inconsistency? I read the Thomas's messages as "TTIO/TTOU are not
needed to our busines and we don't have a reason to restore them
before calling external programs other than just plaster
seemingly consistency." And I agree to the analysis and I agree
to you on the point that it doens't need consideration just now.
If the consistency means the different behaviors between perl and
ruby, (as written in another message,) I'm inclined to vote for
having a bit more tolerance for error of external programs as my
second patch.
regards.
