Since we can't tell whether a given fd might need a call to
_thread_fd_table_init() or not, the correctness before all else
principle would argue for either pre-allocating all the fd entries
or doing it on demand by placing a call to _thread_fd_table_init()
in write() and all the other places where it might be needed.  Of
these two, I prefer the second.  What about you?
