Emacs limits the number of these background processes, see
native-comp-async-jobs-number. (The value zero means use half of the
number of execution units available in the system's processor.) So we
generally shouldn't have more than that number of open pipes at any
given time. For the obvious reasons they cannot be closed until the
sub-process exits.
