I never saw it, but I'd guess it is since svgalib does odd things with
stderr (unix handle 2) like reopening on a real console (if it isn't one)
setting raw keyboard mode and stuff. It probably doesn't close FILE
*stderr, but even if it did the fprintf is doomed to fail.
Well, maybe svgalib should ensure that 2 or stderr points to a sensible
device.
