This patch dates (mostly) back to 2002; the critical parts of it were

A slightly earlier version of this patch was reviewed by Christian Biere

Games which have a scorefile should open it at startup, then drop all
privileges leaving just the open writable file descriptor. If the
game can invoke subprocesses, this should be made close-on-exec.

descriptor < 3. (Otherwise, they could get confused and corrupt the
scorefile when using stdin, stdout or stderr.)

Most noreturn attributes were previously added in bin/6144, with some
others that were missed then in bin/8082. Previous `unused'
attributes were covered in bin/6557, bin/8058 and other PRs (all these
PRs have already been handled and closed).
