Double backet does not fix this warning. It is the HP NonStop c89 and c99
compiler without having disabled warnings (all warnings are on by default)
If it isn't a bug, forget about it, or maybe add a comment next to that line
about this.

Well it's a feature.
We could reorganize but it would add a few more lines.
What compiler (option) is this?
Is the warning avoided by using double brackets like ((stdout_closed =
true))

cheers,
Pádraig.
