In the case of this bug report, the streams would end up > associated to InnoDB ibd files. > > The freopen(3) function is not thread-safe on FreeBSD. What this > means is that if another thread calls open(2) during freopen() > is executing that another thread's fd returned by open(2) may get > re-associated with the file being passed to freopen(3). See FreeBSD > PR number 79887 for reference: > > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=79887 > > This problem is worked around by substituting a internal hook within > the FILE structure. This avoids the loss of atomicity by not having > the original fd closed before its duplicated. > > Patch based on the original work by Vasil Dimov.
