Yep. I've confirmed that fixes it.

FYI -- I've also found the bug in my systems manager code.  It was an uninitialized file descriptor variable, defaulted to zero instead of -1 (invalid file descriptor value), which was closed at the exit of a function.

I backed out my fix (temporarily) and tested with your changes to confirm that it did indeed fix the problem (I even added a logerrx to make sure it detected an invalid stdin).  I can confirm that dhcpcd works with or without fixing my own code :-).

Thank you again!

Thanks for testing!

First time for me where a bug in dhcpcd found a bug in a 3rd party product - glad both are fixed.
