Interesting.  And you ran this under X11 in an xterm window?

Yes, but there I get an error (even under mintty) for a different reason:

$ strace -o trace.out ls -lL <(grep bash .bashrc) 
ls: cannot access '/dev/fd/63': No such file or directory

The strace output shows a call to fhandler_process::exists on /proc/45036/fd/63; 
here 45036 is the PID of 'ls'.  And then I see an EBADF error.  But I think 
what's happening here might be that bash is parsing '<(grep bash .bashrc)' too 
soon, so that '/dev/fd/63' isn't related to the 'ls' command.

By the way, I've just tried a different experiment, in which I simplify the ls 
command to 'ls <(grep bash .bashrc)'.  When I run this under xterm, I get the 
broken pipe error 98% of the time or more.  But it's fine under mintty.
