This is what you need to do, assume the problem is with the code you wrote , because this is the beginning of debugging

Copy your 6000 line program and start deleting lines, delete everything that doesn't trigger the problem, stop when you have it down to 20 lines max or you solved it

If your 6000 lines of code are in any way organized it shouldn't take very long (15min-1hour)

This is the only shortcut

"Thinking" the problem lies in fileno and other pieces of code that have worked fine for a decade or two/three is naive -- if there was any merit to the idea you should be able to demonstrate it with ~20 lines of code
