There was a minor difference when I tested it:  My shell is not bash
but tcsh, and tcsh opens the here document with different perms.

I added debug output to fhandler_base::open and on bash the ACCESS_MASK
set on the incoming handle is 0x12019F with tcsh and 0x120089 with bash.
Compare with https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc246802.aspx, and
you'll see that tcsh opened the file woth O_RDWR, while bash opened the
file with O_RDONLY.

I didn't notice this before, sorry!
