[clean-list] freopen fails

[Arjen van Weelden]

Finally, I can get freopen to fail. It only fails if I use the Object 
I/O file selector and select a file from a different directory (not the 
project directory).
It looks like the file selector changes the current working directory, 
which makes freopen fail. Obviously a bug in the implementation of 
freopen. Thank you for reporting this.

kind regards,
	Arjen
