I went through this pain once, too, and discovered that you have to
clear bits 0-2, 4-6, and 15 in the file handle flags.  This is
documented in the OS/2 2.0 CPP Reference, on the page for DosFHState.

So the code to turn off handle inheritance looks like this:

	ULONG fhstate;

	if (DosQueryFHState(handle, &fhstate) != 0) ...;
	fhstate = (fhstate & ~0x8077) | OPEN_FLAGS_NOINHERIT;
	if (DosSetFHState(handle, fhstate) != 0) ...;

I hope this fixes your problem.
