I noticed a bug with dash-0.5.6-2.fc11.i586
in that it doesn't redirect from symlinked ttys
correctly for background processes.

$ dash -c "tty < /dev/stdin&"
$ dash -c "tty < /dev/stdin"
/dev/pts/3
$ bash -c "tty < /dev/stdin&"
/dev/pts/3
$ dash -c "tty < $(readlink -f /dev/stdin)&"
/dev/pts/3

cheers,
Pádraig.

It's completely expected as we close stdin for backgrounded
commands.

Try:

bash -c '{ :; tty < /dev/stdin; }&'

Now who is inconsistent? :)
