Subject: [BUG] IO#reopen crashes

Moin!

Here are some code samples and their effects. The following ones are 
Windows-specific:

irb(main):001:0> STDOUT.reopen('')
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:152: [BUG] rb_sys_fail() - errno == 0
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-16) [i386-mswin32]

C:\dev\ruby>ruby -e "STDOUT.reopen('')"
-e:1:in `reopen': No such file or directory -  (Errno::ENOENT)
         from -e:1

irb(main):001:0> STDERR.reopen('')
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory -

C:\dev\ruby>ruby -e "STDERR.reopen('')"
-e:1: [BUG] rb_sys_fail() - errno == 0
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-16) [i386-mswin32]

And this one works on both Linux and Windows: (reported by David Black)

irb(main):001:0> IO.allocate.reopen("/nothing")
(irb):1: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-29) [i686-linux]

irb(main):001:0> IO.allocate.reopen("/nothing")
(irb):1: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-16) [i386-mswin32]
