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

  POSIX states that a setuid application can guarantee that fd 2 is
  open, but some systems guarantee this even for non-setuid programs.
  If an application is executed with fd 2 closed, use of @code{stderr}
  can affect an unrelated file that happened to be assigned to fd 2.
  The gnulib *-safer modules may be used to guarantee that fd 2 stays
  reserved for @code{stderr}.
