          Issue ID: 24715
           Summary: std/process: Default to libc `closefrom` in
                    spawnProcessPosix
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: phobos
          Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com
          Reporter: a.horodniceanu@proton.me

The current implementation of spawnProcessPosix is broken on systems with a large `ulimit -n` because it always OOMs making it impossible to spawn processes. Using the libc implementation, when available, for doing file descriptor operations en-mass solves this problem.
