+  /* Bad Things Happen if stdin, stdout, and stderr have been closed
+     (as by the `sh incantation "attraction >&- 2>&-").  When you do
+     that, the X connection gets allocated to one of these fds, and
+     then some random library writes to stderr, and random bits get
+     stuffed down the X pipe, causing "Xlib: sequence lost" errors.
+     So, we cause the first three file descriptors to be open to
+     /dev/null if they aren't open to something else already.  This
+     must be done before any other files are opened (or the closing
+     of that other file will again free up one of the "magic" first
+     three FDs.)
+
+     We do this by opening /dev/null three times, and then closing
+     those fds, *unless* any of them got allocated as #0, #1, or #2,
+     in which case we leave them open.  Gag.
+
+     Really, this crap is technically required of *every* X program,
+     if you want it to be robust in the face of "2>&-".
