This is probably quite a late comment, but I don't think that
'report-fd=3' is a good idea in a protocol like this.  It should not
take an argument and just respond down the appropriate selected file
descriptor.  ie, default to standard output.  If standard input is a
socket, then use that bidirectionally.  If --report-fd is used on the
command line, use that.
