Hi!
parallel-tests-fd-redirect.test fails on MSYS, and I think
the cause is that the write (9, ...) simply doesn't work for
MinGW programs (baz.exe and qux.test.exe). It works for the
shell scripts (foo.sh and bar) since /bin/sh is an MSYS
program and thus is a lot more POSIXy. But redirecting from
the MinGW world to the MSYS world in this maner is simply
not possible, I think. I think that will only work for
fd 0,1 and 2 (but I'm not 100% sure).
Also, including unistd.h will not work for non-ANSI systems,
MinGW provides a half-baked unistd.h but MSVC does not.
MSVC has its write() in io.h, but it will probably suffer
from the same problem with a dysfunctional fd 9.

the embedded test suite goes from 4 PASS to 2 PASS / 2 FAIL,
and this in the log files:
+ cat foo.log
+ cat bar.log
+ cat baz.log
write failed: Bad file descriptor
+ cat qux.log
write failed: Bad file descriptor
supporting the above beliefs.
