The problem is not present there. But I'm not satisfied - I'm still not sure
that it was a problem in bash and not libc. Just looking into the diff between
those two betas doesn't say to me, what could fix/paper over/workaround this
problem. The closest wild guess I could make is

-#if defined (__MSDOS__)
-      if (fildes[0] >= 0)
-	{
-	  close (fildes[0]);
-	  fildes[0] = -1;
-	}
-      if (fildes[1] >= 0)
-	{
-	  close (fildes[1]);
-	  fildes[1] = -1;
-	}
-#else

...and similar stuff with manipulating fildes. Any suggestions?

BTW, check out manifest/bsh204b.mft in binary distribution. You will be surprised ;)
