freopen() should omit the assignment #121

freopen() is attempting to assign its result to stdin, which is not guaranteed to be assignable: "error: assignment of read-only variable 'stdin'"

I remember looking into this a long time ago. One of the main (only?) reasons fdupes fails to compile on macOS is this statement, because there stdin isn't an assignable lvalue. It seems this incorrect usage is also a common mistake. See this SO answer for details: https://stackoverflow.com/a/586416
