Subject: Bug: fhandler_base::dup: (W2K, php, 1.3.9 dll) + work around
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Bug report + work around.

When calling a bash shell script interactively, it works fine.
When starting it through php (with 'exec') it gives this error:

fhandler_base::dup: dup(unknown disk file) failed, handle 2F8, Win32
error 6

The problem has been reported earlier (and diagnosed) in the context of
gcc and make.

The problem arises because the main shell script (activated from php
with 'exec') calls other shell scripts, without assigning standard
input. After calling the other scripts with a dummy standard input ( <
/etc/profile), it works fine. Not pretty, but workable.
