$ echo cat /dev/stderr > bug
$ bash bug 2>&-
cat /dev/stderr
calling bash script 2>&- on linux
seems to make /dev/stderr refer to script,
though &2 seems unaffected.
using 2>&- inside script does not trigger this bug.
i assume it is a bug and not 'historical compatibility'.
the bug does not seem to appear in bash on openbsd.
the bug does not seem to appear in dash or pdksh.
