Is this really a safe thing to do? If the process crashes and ends up in
SIGSEGV handler, I would not trust on the ctrl_iface socket or its file
descriptor being in valid state and as such, I would not really want to
write there since who knows where that would go if another file
descriptor is selected accidentally due to some corruption in memory.
