The real reason is that on centos 5 the default valgrind would
previously not coredump child processes with unique pid's, so
when I was debugging the command file worker I had to get it to
dump core in a separate directory.

It's not exactly important for the sake of functionality, but it
doesn't hurt either (as we ignore the return values). We could
remove it or keep it. I have no opinion either or, really.
