 I think this bug is more serious than I thought before.
 
    ~>cat /home/cheusov/tmp/1.sh
    #!/bin/sh
 
    cat < /dev/null > /not/exist
    echo $?
    ~>/home/cheusov/tmp/1.sh        
    /home/cheusov/tmp/1.sh: cannot create /not/exist: directory nonexistent
    0
    ~>
 
 HINT: commands that do not need fork (built-ins, like echo, printf etc.)
 work properly.
