The proc_open manual says:
Note: Windows compatibility: Descriptors beyond 2 (stderr) are made
available to the child process as inheritable handles, but since the
Windows architecture does not associate file descriptor numbers with
low-level handles, the child process does not (yet) have a means of
accessing those handles. Stdin, stdout and stderr work as expected.
