In that case, you have a glibc or filesystem bug and you should be
reporting it to Red Hat. The *only* difference between writing to
stdout and writing to a --file option is that in one case we use
the preopened "stdout" FILE* and in the other case we do
fopen(filename, "w"). Your report therefore is stating that there
is something broken about fopen'd files.
