Yes. I think you changed it in an attempt to make P_DETACH work.
The logical parent would read the 0 and declare that the
process chain was logically terminated, despite having the pipe
remain opened (by inheritance) in the detached process.
Now that the pipes are not inherited, the former method
should work just fine.
