It seems like the 'read' command can no longer read anything from a FIFO. Reproducer: $ dash -c 'trap "rm fifo" 0; mkfifo fifo; echo OK >fifo & read r <fifo; echo "${#r}:$r"' 0: Expected output: 2:OK -- || modernish -- harness the shell || https://github.com/modernish/modernish || || KornShell lives! || https://github.com/ksh93/ksh
