Subject: [PATCH] * Don't use IPC::Open2, it has a subtle race bug on Mac OS X
 10.4.  If   the parent runs before the child, it closes some pipe file  
 descriptors which causes the child to fail due to a bad file   descriptor. 
 So we just use the normal open() function instead.

  This fixes NIX-14 (intermittent nix-pull failures).
