The FileDescriptors for in, out, err are held in static fields and 
should never be only phantom reachable.
The registration of cleanup handlers only occurs when opening files, not 
for constructors that accept a FileDescriptor.  So there will be no 
cleanup registrations for fd 0,1,2. (unless I'm missing a case)

Just an abundance of caution, currently there are no calls with set(-1) 
but if there were the
cleaner should be reset to avoid closing a stale fd at some future time.
