The following maxima session encounters an EACCESS error that I can't
make sense of:

(%i1) m: genmatrix (lambda([i,j], i+j-1), 3, 3)$
(%i2) write_data(m, "/dev/stdout")$
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:


UNIX error 13 (EACCES): Permission denied

Automatically continuing.
To enable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
(%i3)

The strace corresponding to opening /dev/stdout looks normal to me up until the
write fails:

Any clues from this why this should or shouldn't work?  If I replace /dev/stdout
with /dev/tty it works, but that is not an option for the real use-case (where
stdout is captured from another process).  Trying to write to /proc/self/fd/1
hangs up the maxima process (I can break with ^C).


Regards,
Achim.
