No objection to defensive programming, but would it not be a bug for
an fd < 10 to ever be assigned to a slot in saved_fds[] in the first
place?
It feels as though there's probably a reason that (int *save) is
passed around as a parameter to addfd() et al. rather than being a
global to begin with. Are you sure there aren't circumstances where
the same fd might get saved more than once at different levels of the
recursive execsomething() hierarchy, causing saved_fds[] to contain
incomplete information? I'm envisioning something like
