+ * has been made to make them interchangeable.  This class operates under
+ * a very different set of assumptions and constraints.
+ *
+ * One such assumption is that if you're getting file descriptors for
+ * use with this class as a child of a fork() operation, you must be on
+ * a pread() to guarantee correct operation. This is because pread() can
+ * atomically read at a file offset without worrying about a lock around an
