bash 3.1-4bpo1 broken WRT process substitution
I've noticed something rather strange on one of my systems recently.
Whenever my nightly backup script runs, it creates lots of FIFOs with a
name matching '/tmp/sh-np-$(date +%s)'.
I have tracked this down and it seems to be caused by the backport of
bash that I installed. On an etch machine:
$ echo <(echo foo)
/dev/fd/63
and on a sarge machine with the bash backport:
$ echo <(echo foo)
/tmp/sh-np-3389223881
It appears that the bash backport was build on a system where the
autoconf test for HAVE_DEV_FD failed. Could someone please rebuild it,
check if this is correct, and upload a fixed version?
