It seems like implementations are buggy enough that bash needs to do
something to work around them, but this isn't exactly it.

The issue with the proposed patch is that it would make it impossible to
interrupt an open using, say, ^C.  There needs to be a check for signals
in there somewhere.  I'll fix it.
