I don't know what the f is going on but I've solved about 8-9 major things there (code) and not a single one has been allowed to go in. The boss has even taken a major hit because others (everyone) knows these improvements are vital but for some mumbling reason they're not allowed to go in.
For instance -
I just found out the program was spawning new processes with "inherit file descriptors" set. Basically if the parent program had a file open, the spawned program is also holding open that file and doesn't even know it. Even if it's ie ffmpeg. The parent program has no idea which files the spawned process might have inherited so it has no way to know which files it may not be able to reopen or delete in the future.
There are a shit ton of totally different types of processes that spawn and they all are forced to inherit. Normal processes like ffmpeg or ftp programs etc. The code is obviously a generic process spawner not some sort of advanced parent process duplicator. So obviously all these processes forcing inherit was some sort of copy paste mistake.
Yet the boss says "there was probably a reason it was done that way". Brah. You're retarded but you can't possibly be that retarded. This code can not be allowed to stand and to let it is deliberately sabotaging the code.
