That gives me an error "Invalid handle", or, using `head` instead of 
`wsl`: head: failed to reopen 'stdin' with mode 'rb': Bad file descriptor.
By the way, a funny variant of the test case is

(echo 1; echo 2) |
while read line
do
    echo $line
    head -1
done
(Add an 'x' marker to the echo to watch the intricacies...)
