+
+This is a regression introduced in commit 67a589e505311. Previously, the
+source/target FD pairs were stored in `needdup_fd_assignments`, in
+consecutive entries, so source FDs had even indices and target FDs had
+odd indices.
+
+I didn’t notice that the array index was being incremented by 2 when
+closing FDs, when porting from the old code. So previously the code was
+only closing the source FDs; after the port, it was closing source and
+target FDs.
+
+That’s incorrect, as the target FDs are just integers in the parent
+process. It’s only in the child process where they are actually FDs —
+and `g_subprocess_launcher_close()` is never called in the child
+process.
+
+This resulted in some strange misbehaviours in any process which used
+`g_subprocess_launcher_take_fd()` with target FDs which could have
+possibly aliased with other FDs in the parent process (and which weren’t
+equal to their mapped source FDs).
+
+Thanks to Olivier Fourdan for the detailed bug report.

+Expand an existing unit test to check that the target FD of a
+`g_subprocess_launcher_take_fd()` call doesn’t get closed when
+`g_subprocess_launcher_close()` is called. Only the source FD should be
+closed by the parent process.
