OK. Means that, once again, we don't know of any way the scripts
might use to distinguish between output devices.

We might want to fix this for the sake of correctness some time.

Added to the bug list. Thanks!
(Of course, this does not explain the use of invalid handles, but I
agree that this might be caused by other calls not having return
values).
