Bash Version: 4.2
Patch Level: 37
Release Status: release

Moving a file descriptor for a builtin command or a compound
command leaves the fd closed afterwards:

$ bash -c ': <&1-; echo test'
bash: line 0: echo: write error: Bad file descriptor

expected output: "test".

ksh93 had a similar bug but it was fixed in 1994:

94-06-30  A bug which caused 2<&1- when applied to a shell built-in
          to leave standard input closed has been fixed.

(don't know if it's a typo above (s/input/output/), if not it
might be a different bug)

In any case, ksh93u+ doesn't exhibit the same behavior as bash:

$ ksh -c ': <&1-; echo test'
test

The longer (standard) form works OK:

$ bash -c ': <&1 1<&-; echo test'
test
