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?
