Subject: [PATCH 3/7] Automatically close stderr pipes created by run_command

From: "Shawn O. Pearce" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 01:22:02 -0500

Like the out pipe and in pipe, we now automatically close the err
pipe if it was requested by the caller and it hasn't been closed
by the caller.  This simplifies anyone who wants to get a pipe to
the stderr stream for another process.
