vredir ptest fails since too many file descriptors were open.

>From the failed ptest log:
   run-vredir
   87,88c87,88
   < ./vredir6.sub: line 10: /dev/null: Too many open files
   < ./vredir6.sub: line 13: /dev/null: Too many open files
   FAIL: run-vredir

Added function to close file descriptors before starting a new process.
