 I'm not sure we should do that by default, but we could add a flag for
 kqueue1() to make it inheritable. Otherwise it might be a suprise with
 unclear consequences on existing apps (like now suddenly running into
 RLIMIT_NOFILE).
 
 However, is this realy worth the effort? All other OSes seem to not inherit
 this descriptors as well.
