hello,
this is again about the _thread_kern_pipe issue raised a few days ago.
thinking about it again, it's nonsense to create any pid-specific
workarounds by creating fake stdio. the solution is straightforward;
patch attached (completely untested).
note, that the open() wrapper (and other calls that create fds) need to
check, if the newly created fd is a stdio one and adjust
_pthread_stdio_flags - at least this is my understanding of this voodoo.
but then, i don't have the faintest idea of what i'm talking about. :)
greetings

The problem with making software idiot-proof is that idiots are so clever.
