But this isn't the default. Thinking about this scares me.
Am I right in saying that std{in,out,err} are now real symbols rather
than being #defines to the __sF array an that the real symbols will
*always* simply refer to the same memory as the __sF array through the
life of libc.so.4 ? If that's the case, then that sounds reasonable.
Otherwise I'm scared :*)
