Hmmm, I get a compile warning that arg 2 is implicitly converting an
integer to a pointer. If I cast it in place ((apr_os_file_t *)
STDOUT_FILENO), then it compiles fine, but I get a segfault right in
the middle of apr_put_os_file()!

(Specifically, in file_io/unix/open.c, line 227 where it tries to set
->filedes).

Also: what do you mean by your last sentence? How can something in
APR, a portability layer, be non-portable? :) I mean, we're talking
about grabbing stdout, which is an ANSI C thing, no?
