Unix has fileno, but if stdio is recycling FILE* then it probably is also
recycling filenos. So opening a file right after closing stdin will probably
create a file whose fileno is 0.

Not probably - File descriptors are assigned starting with the smallest available. Closing stdin and immediately opening a new file is guaranteed to use file descriptor 0.
