   The problem is not that you have a bad version of EX perse, but that EX
really wants a TTY for output.  EX checks file descriptor 0 (I.E. isatty(0)) to
see if it is talking to a REAL tty.  This is why you can not get it to work.
The only solution is of course to modify the source to EXCLUDE this check,
which appears to be an overkill anyway.
