Some tools (I remember gnupg and rpm) don't work correctly if the
stdin/stdout/stderr isn't initialized statically (this is why the previous
dynamic initialiazion isn't fail safe in every case). Beside from that
it's a little bit mysterious as the static initialization should be
exatcly the same as the dynamic (at least I can't see any difference).

I don't understand what do you mean with that.

A better patch is everytime welcome.
