[Bug 926473] [NEW] upstart test suite assumes no inherited fds

[Steve Langasek]

Public bug reported:

When building under bzr-builddeb, upstart's test suite fails
consistently:

...ensure sane fds with no console, no script
BAD: fd 3 is unexpected valid
        at tests/test_job_process.c:1164 (test_run).
/bin/bash: line 5: 19389 Aborted                 (core dumped) ${dir}$tst
FAIL: test_job_process

The test suite seems to assume no file descriptors are open when the
test starts, but that seems to not be the case here.

The test passes consistently when not running under bzr bd.

The test suite should close its file descriptors before running the
test, to ensure a clean environment.
