get_file_handle() returns a file descriptor for use with select() or
poll(). If you give it a random number (fd is a random number), the
application will poll it as if it were a file descriptor. At best, it
causes EBADFD. At worse the application starts polling an existing and
unrelated file descriptor, causing random behaviors.

It works fine because this part of the code is completely not tested by
any of the fftools.
