i create a new console for stdin/stdout so if drawstuff is started from
the command line it doesn't block. a new console has new I/O handles,
so stdin/stdout have to use the new handles.

could you try:
  (1) remove the three fclose() lines in drawStuffStartup(), or...
  (2) printf out the system error message strerror(errno) when the
      freopen fails.

thanks,

russ.
