The latest changes adding atexit left a coredump bug in dd. After
parsing options closeout_func is set to zero. But then in
close_stdout_wrapper the pointer closeout_func is dereferenced. One
possible solution is to check the pointer before dereferencing it.
I included that patch here for reference.
