Bug Description

There has occasionally been this error coming up when working with fwupdate and friends:

"dup: Bad file descriptor"

This doesn't happen reliably, it seems that calling a second or third time or rebooting first will tend to fix it.

Upstream has indicated this userspace commit should resolve the problem:

https://github.com/rhinstaller/fwupdate/commit/91cb275c1bec0da0c61038892d980f1505e0ce3f

Triaged; since we already know what commit would fix this.
