I committed some changes that weren't strictly needed, but which make
the behavior "better" in programs which have called close(fileno(f))
prior to freopen(f, ...). These changes should also have the effect
that the code in your example "works", but since it's using a FILE
stream after calling fclose on it, relying on it continuing to work is
not something I would recommend. It would be better to fix the buggy
code.
