Thanks for the fix. The configure test for /dev/fd succeeds on FreeBSD
(testing for /dev/fd/3 after `exec 3</dev/null'), when it should fail.
It should only succeed if you have the fdescfs file system mounted.
The problem is that `configure' concludes that /bin/sh's $LINENO
handling is deficient and uses bash to execute the configure script.
The bash builtin `test' interprets pathnames beginning with /dev/fd
internally, using fstat on the appropriate file descriptor, so this
test succeeds.
This should affect only FreeBSD 5 and 6.
You can fix this in a couple of ways: Edit config.h to #undef
HAVE_DEV_FD after configure finishes, or set `CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh'
before running configure.
I will need to figure out a better test for future versions.
