I'm not sure that the fake PSP only makes problems with undocumented
calls.  (I just thought about `fstat' because it was the first thing that
came to mind, like the first love ;-) I suspect that if the debugger would
use up more than 20 file handles, the debuggee won't be able to open files
anymore, because its fake PSP still has a pointer to an old handle table. 
(This is just a theory though, I never tried this, so I might be dead
wrong.)
