This is probably quite a late comment, but I don't think that 'report-fd=3' is a good idea in a protocol like this. It should not take an argument and just respond down the appropriate selected file descriptor. ie, default to standard output. If standard input is a socket, then use that bidirectionally. If --report-fd is used on the command line, use that.
