 One workaround is to use freopen(NULL, ``w'', stdout) on Cygwin 1.5.21

 ftello(stdout).

+POSIX states that a setuid application can guarantee that fd 1 is
+open, but some systems guarantee this even for non-setuid programs.
+If an application is executed with fd 1 closed, use of @code{stdout}
+can affect an unrelated file that happened to be assigned to fd 1.
+The gnulib *-safer modules may be used to guarantee that fd 1 stays
+reserved for @code{stdout}.
