It is possibly a race condition, as the Perl software is identical between the systems I test on, yet one fails within the first 50 iterations of the loop in this test, whereas the other system has processed over 40000 iterations of the loop with no issues (aside from the warning messages) ... failure is either the report that either STDOUT or STDERR are gone, or message that new_from_fd failed

What is "perl software" and "systems" (versions)?

I cannot reproduce on strawberry-perl-5.18.2.2-32bit-portable on old winxp machine
