Curious! It fails (for me) on W7 ...

STC inherits a "read-only" open file descriptor from bash. On Linux
the file can be opened read-write (via procfs), because a new entry
is created in the open file table.

(opening the file read-write (via fdescfs) on FreeBSD would fail)

For this reason the output does not show what has been entered via
the here-doc.

In short, I was merely testing the semantics of Linux.
