I guess your pseudo code dropped something _very_ important, enough to
confuse others.

You are assuming stdout and rb_stdout pointing different file
descriptor, are you?  Or, do you think they should be different?

rb_stdout is always point to file descriptor 1 (except for some rare
cases, that you don't want to consider).  So they are same, no need to
assign, nor reopen.
