unix keeps the file pointer in the (global) file table. The
(per-process) file descriptor table references the file table.
opening twice gives you two file descriptor table entries referencing
two file table entries. duping gives you two file descriptors
referencing the *same* file table entry. Thus the two fds share the
file pointer.
