Thanks for your report, and sorry for my delay!
The distinguishing feature here is that lynx closes the CGI script's
standard input. As a result, at some point man does roughly:
last_input = open (filename, O_RDONLY);
dup2 (last_input, 0);
close (last_input);
But the "open" returns 0, since that's the first available file
descriptor, so everything is now very confused. libpipeline needs to
tolerate this situation.
