I tried building bash from the source package, and then it uses either /dev/fd (if I have that as a symlink) or /proc/self/fd (if I don't), rather than the fifo that the binary package uses. So perhaps whoever built the binary package didn't have /proc/self/fd for whatever reason? With my built ba

Process substitution in bash is not working for me currently. I'm pretty certain it worked at some point in the past (maybe about 6 months ago). For example: $ cat <( echo hello) hangs, ignoring ^C, kill -9, and requiring kill -f on the cat process. Reading the bash manual, it seems bash can
