| stdin is created in 32-bit mode instead of 64-bit mode: Cygwin 1.5.x. |
| One workaround is to use freopen(NULL, ``r'', stdin) on Cygwin 1.5.21 |
| or newer. Another is to use the gnulib ftello module and do |
| ftello(stdin). |

| POSIX states that a setuid application can guarantee that fd 0 is |
| open, but some systems guarantee this even for non-setuid programs. |
| If an application is executed with fd 0 closed, use of @code{stdin} |
| can affect an unrelated file that happened to be assigned to fd 0. |
| The gnulib *-safer modules may be used to guarantee that fd 0 stays |
| reserved for @code{stdin}. |
