Log Message:

        bin/sh/redir.c: revision 1.61

Fix the <> redirection operator, which has been broken since it was
first implemented in response to PR bin/4966  (PR Feb 1998, fix Feb 1999).

The file named should not be truncated.

No other shell truncates the file (<> was added to FreeBSD sh in Oct 2000,
and did not include O_TRUNC) and POSIX certainly does not suggest that
should happen (just that the file is to be created if it does not exist.)

Bug pointed out in off-list e-mail by Martijn Dekker
