Not true, exactly:
zagzig[21] /bin/echo <(: foo)
/proc/self/fd/11
Zsh is over-optimizing a bit in this case; because PATH_DEV_FD was defined
at compile time, zsh simply uses that existing file name instead of making
its own new FIFO.
} As all files are closed by sudo this fails.
That's the unfortunate bit. Zsh is making an unwarranted assumption that
the file descriptor it opened will still be open by the time the file
name is referenced.
For guaranteed correct operation, we should remove the PATH_DEV_FD code
from getproc() in exec.c, or (perhaps better) change it to be used only
if mkfifo() is absent or fails.
