Sounds like that's the one. oTOSis have Fcntl(F_GETFL) implemented,
but it returned an error for this particular call to Fcntl(), which
caused fdopen() to return NULL, in which case MiNTLib prints out
virtual memory exhausted and exits.

I know now exactly what the error is, so I hope I'm able to fix this
in oTOSis. I already did a workaround in oTOSis, but not a good
solution yet.

That would be me.
