So the question is: shouldn't runInteractiveCommand / runInteractiveProcess close descriptors greater then 2 in the child process?
This is actually a pretty subtle area of POSIX (and probably something that was badly designed in the first place). Inheriting of fds is often surprising, but if the runtime were to close everything > 2, then how would you be able to pass one to a child process? There are many instances where you want to do this[1]. Maybe there needs to be an additional argument which contains fd numbers which should be passed down?
