Thanks, but this won't help much.  Handle redirection is so central to
many programs that are part of the DJGPP toolchain, that solving the
`redir' part alone is not useful: the rest of the programs will still
break.

We need to find out what happens inside the library functions `dup'
and `dup2', and work around those problems in the library.  Only then
we could be sure these problems won't affect DJGPP as a whole.

So I'd like to ask everyone who has access to Windows ME to dig into
this problem and report the findings here.  Thanks!
