- Maybe the programs being run are opening "*". If this does not
- produce a valid filehandle, blooey. 2.0 may have better defenses
- than 1.3 did. Workaround: put the fh_Type value of a valid
- filehandle in your process's pr_ConsoleTask field -but NOT a
- filehandle made by opening NIL:. The NULL: handler can be used to
- discard output to "*" this way.
