No, DOS handles can never go beyond 254 (255 is 0xff, which marks an
unused handle in the PSP handle table).

Just to clarify, I didn't mean to call `dup' from libc (which can be
caught by an FSEXT handler), I meant to open the NUL device the first
time `__FSEXT_alloc_fd' is called, and afterwards call the DOS
function 45h which dups the handle returned by the initial open call.
