Thanks for confirming. I have a patch that might or might not solve the
problem, since I don't know how early twisted creates the pipes. Would
you mind testing the attached patch? (Will be a little bit tricky to
apply to installed sources though).

If the patch doesn't solve the problem, then we will have to implement
an option to not close file descriptors for Ganeti 1.2.
