    main loop: Big hammer to fix logfile disk DoS in Xen setups
    
    Each time round the main loop, we now fstat stderr.  If it is too big,
    we dup2 /dev/null onto it.  This is not a very pretty patch but it is
    very simple, easy to see that it's correct, and has a low risk of
    collateral damage.
    
    There is no limit by default but can be adjusted by setting a new
    environment variable.
    
    This fixes CVE-2014-3672.

    Set the default to 0 so that it won't affect non-xen installation. The
    limit will be set by Xen toolstack.
