long time ago I had problems with stdxxx being in non-blocking i/o

The suggestion was to close and re-open the channels from the system

I ran into this problem again and would like to know:
How can I close and reopen stderr and sdtout from my program?
close(stderr);
assign(stderr,'');
rewrite(stderr);
close(stdout);
assign(stdout,'');
rewrite(stdout);
This does not enable you to set any particular options on the
descriptors though, and I'm not aware of any supported way for doing
so (read: a way which is likely to be forward compatible). And even if
you could get at the file descriptors, there is also no cross-platform
functionality that I'm aware of to change their (non-)blocking setting.
