I prefer to be overly cautious when declaring file descriptor variables.
Even though the current code will always initialize FD, someone might
come along later and refactor the method, resulting in code which needs
the -1 initialization at declaration.  GCC is not entirely reliable at
detecting use of uninitialized variables.
