  From the ISO C Standard, 7.9.3 :

     "[...] The value of a pointer to a FILE object is indeterminate
      after the associated file is closed (including the standard text
      streams). [...]"

  Don't blame your tools for the fact that you had bad code.

  In fact, be grateful to the tool that revealed the problem to you.

  DosStopSession and DosKillProcess

  The "Program Execution Control" section of your Toolkit 2.x and 3.x
  Control Program Guide and Reference (supplied as standard with all of
  the commercial C++ compilers for OS/2) documents all of the calls
  relating to sessions, processes, and threads.
