Hmph, my glibc does not seem to mark freopen. It's probably sane to
check it for error, as we would otherwise probably segfault on the next
call to "fprintf(stderr)".
>From my reading of freopen(3posix), I do not think we need to do
anything like "stderr = freopen(..., stderr);". The filehandle is
repointed, not re-allocated. And anyway, that is the assumption all of
our other freopen calls make. :)

Squash this in?
