Redirection of stderr

     It is possible to replace stderr with a file doing something like this:

       freopen(error_file, "w", stderr);

   However, if you do things this way, I can't see any way to put the
   original stderr back in place -- there is no "fdreopen".  That's
   unfortunate.

I beleive the return value of freopen() is the original file for you
to salt away as necessary.

The above drivel is mine.  Company drivel sounds _MUCH_ more plausible ;^)
