Well, it would work if mingw's dup2 weren't broken.  On mingw, dup2 always 
returns 0 for success, rather than the fd just opened.

So I guess I'll start the process of writing a dup2 replacement module; 
meanwhile, we can just use the hack of checking that the dup2 result in this 
test was non-negative.
