+ * Public domain dup2() lookalike
+ * by Curtis Jackson @ AT&T Technologies, Burlington, NC
+ * electronic address:  burl!rcj
+ *
+ * dup2 performs the following functions:
+ *
+ * Check to make sure that fd1 is a valid open file descriptor.
+ * Check to see if fd2 is already open; if so, close it.
+ * Duplicate fd1 onto fd2; checking to make sure fd2 is a valid fd.
+ * Return fd2 if all went well; return BADEXIT otherwise.
