Bash Version: 2.05b
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:
Bash is exiting with broken pipe error or hanging when trying to redirect stdout
 to a process via process substitution. This is only happening on our HPUX machi
ne, not other machines I have access to.
In the script I am working with, it sometimes hangs, sometimes gets broken pipe
error, and sometimes works. The simplified test case below gives broken pipe err
or 95% of the time, and hangs the remaining 5% or so of the time. I didn't see t
he case below ever work on the problem machine, but it may do so occasionally.

Repeat-By:
bash -xc "exec > >(tee -a /tmp/foo) 2>&1; who"
The above command produces a broken pipe error on this machine and does not put
anything in /tmp/foo. On other machines I have access to, it runs who successful
ly and puts a copy of who output in /tmp/foo
