Yes, I had reasons. automode.o forces O_TEXT on read - which is good - and O_BINARY on write - which is not good for a shell AFAICS. As I mentioned in my previous post stdout, stderr and their redirections should implicitely set to what the output determines. If the output is a redirection, then it should be the mode of the underlying mount point. This doesn't undermine the sense of texmode.o, binmode.o and automode.o in general but I didn't see the sense here.
