[Gambas-user] tracking down toolkit erors

[Brian G]

Bruce replace your _new with this code 

Extern dup2(OldFD As Integer, newfd As Integer) In "libc:6" 
Static Dummy As File 
Static Public Sub _init() 
dummy = Open "/dev/null" For Write 
dup2(dummy.Handle, 1) 
dup2(dummy.handle, 2) 
End 

Should give you what you want without all the fiddle
