Description

On current master (18fb86e), valgrind detects this problem after running, for example, :pexec date.

==3420== Invalid read of size 4

popexec.c:158 is

  if (pe->dispatch->fd > 0) {
    owl_select_remove_io_dispatch(pe->dispatch);
  }

where it appears pe->dispatch has already been freed by select.c:127.
