System: NetBSD netbsd.bitmover.com 1.6.1 NetBSD 1.6.1 (GENERIC) #0: Tue Apr 8 12:05:52 UTC 2003 autobuild@tgm.daemon.org:/autobuild/netbsd-1-6/i386/OBJ/autobuild/netbsd-1-6/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

>Description:
When sh(1) runs a multiprogram pipeline with FD 0 closed,
it can fail to plumb the pipeline correctly.
I do not know if this bug is still present in newer releases
(I am downloading 1.6.2 to test).
>How-To-Repeat:
$ sh -c 'cat /etc/motd | tr a-z A-Z | grep foo | sed s/zip/zap/g' <&-
grep: fstat: Bad file descriptor
>Fix:
workaround: use bash instead.
