I do not see how dup2() causes a change in stdio state. I
must be missing something (and that may be a basic misunderstanding of how
stdio is initialized).
It appears that dup2()ing fd 2 resets that stdio state.
OK, thanks. It's surprising, but so be it.
Thank you for the quick fix!
I am happy to see two Windows folks being happy. I tentatively
marked this as "undecided" after merging it to 'next', but let's
have it in the -rc2 and final. Two people familiar with Windows
agreeing that there is no longer mystery why it fixes, after seeing
that the update fixes a regression, is a strong enough sign to me
that including it is better than leaving it out.
Thanks.
