Hi,
the latest sort(1) bug[*] makes me wonder ....

Intuitively, if the stdout is opened append only, the access via
 /dev/stdout should probably silently enforce the open flags of
process's desc. #1 a.k.a.  stdout.  I think it's bug if it's doing
something else. Or is there any reason this is useful ?

 [*] sort >> file misbehaved, since sort(1) fopened("/dev/stdout", "w"),
thus truncating the input file under some conditions - Kim  & Christos
experienced this, I was not able to reproduce this. See also bin/12239.
