I mean, yes, that's certainly better, but it just seems a shame that

There's really no point in trying to save a broken scm message imho.

Right -- my concern is about stuffing a fd into a process without it
knowing (this is likely an overly paranoid concern, given that if the
process is getting EFAULT at the end of a list of fds, all the prior
ones will be installed too..)
