/* This class exists to ensure that the standard file descriptors are
 * not closed.  That would mean that we could open an ordinary file
 * and then corrupt it since we don't realise that output to stdout or
 * stderr will go to it.
 *
 *
 * If any of the file descriptors 0, 1, 2 are not open, attach them
 * to /dev/null so that we don't fopen() a file, get a low numbered
 * file descriptor, and accidentally corrupt our file with a printf()
 * to stdout or stderr, or trying to read from stdin (hence changing
 * the file pointer on our file too).
