It's an interaction between command timing and the `exit' builtin wanting
to make sure it does things like run any exit trap. The file descriptor
manipulation doesn't matter; it's the process substitution subshell
creation that does it. A command like `cat <( echo procsub ; exit 0)'
would work just as well. I'll take a look at the best way to fix it.

Bash-4.4 allows wait to reap the last process substitution created, since
it sets $!.
