Why this is important. Imagine, some programs detects redirection and asks prompt for next screen only if it "not redirected" (it. its output linked to device with stdin/stdout bits set). Now, if we redirect streams by CTTY NUL _and_ CTTY sets stdin/stdout for NUL devices, then discussed program will think, that NUL is CON and will try to wait answer from NUL device. Infinity loop.
Are you sure that RAR only tests the stdin/out bits?? How about the NUL: and CLOCK$ bits?
