#3136 closed enhancement (fixed)

Use FIFO for file descriptor free list

Description

Currently, the free list of file descriptors is organized as a LIFO. In erroneous systems which use a file descriptor after a call to close(), this increases the likelihood that this error is undetected due to the prompt re-use of the file descriptor. The use of a FIFO has the benefit that free file descriptors remain on the free list as long as possible. This increases the time frame in which an invalid use of a closed file descriptor returns an error status.
