Correct, but that is as far as I get with my knowledge :-). I've also a
strace with Bash 4.1 patchlevel 9 around this point and that goes as
follows:
...
clone(child_stack=0,
flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD,
child_tidptr=0x2af2938ab9d0) = 2972
close(3) = 0
close(7) = 0
close(9) = 0
close(10) = 0
read(8, "", 4) = 0
fstat(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 1), ...}) = 0
