This will overun the buffer if we happen to have fds larger than (printed size) 7 characters. This could lead to crashes or malfunctions if the parent VM has opened a large amount of file descriptors.

It is possible to get more fds per process, but only via kernel patch. But we still should not rely on that. And there is also still MacOS using the same mechanism.
