    In the change to stdio.h in FreeBSD 4.8, you say:
    "std{in,out,err} are no longer compile time constants."

    Please pardon my incredible ignorance, but what does that mean ?
    Can you please point me to a reference ?

    FILE *def_thing = stdout;

    no longer works.
    apparently, it shouldn't. why ?

    Thanks for your time,
    Don
