I've thought about that, but my specific problem is that I'm calling the Haskell code compiled to a shared lib and then hPutStr is failing, presumable because there is no valid stderr (and I would image also no stdin or out).
So in order for me to use that method I would have to create a new file handle and direct stderr to that. Or somehow create a fake Handle and pass it that. Or another alternative is on the side where I call the lib, create and attach some hidden console to the process and have it write there. But that all seems like a hackish way out, It would be best if the API just allowed me to turn off this behavior of writing to stderr.

I have a custom handler in place, but when I call the function on failure both my handler gets called and somewhere somehow errors get printed to the stderr, which I really need to avoid.
