+       result is overwritten messages when terminal output is done
+       through multiple file pointers (like logfp and ttyfp), even when
+       they both are connected to the same terminal.  The accomodation
+       attempted here is to initialize ttyfp before logfp, and if stderr
+       and ttyfp are both terminals (presumably the same one), to set an
+       unset logfp to ttyfp instead of to stderr.  */
