The following program demonstrates a bug in the ioctl() support
for ROS 3.3 update 3. When compiled and run normally it prints "worked"
to the terminal. When run with standard output redirected to a file -
"foo > file" - an error message is reported by the ioctl() as expected.
Unfortunately the error message is #14, "Bad address" rather then the
correct #25, "Not a typewriter".
