File to which symlnk /dev/fd/3 refers has "gone"; different from Linux, where
the file is "deleted", but still "available".
(note: dash uses a different implementation)

I used fd 7 in testing. Below the output on Cygwin ... Observe the difference
when executed on Linux.

hello.sh:

#cat 7<<\EOF 0<&7 # works on both Linux and Cygwin
#cat 7<<\EOF 0<&7 /dev/fd/7 # fails on Cygwin

ls 7<<\EOF 0<&7 -lL /proc/self/fd /tmp /dev/fd/7
Hello world!

exit
