Would either cygwin or djgpp have problems? I don't expect them to have problems (/dev/null is supported), but please post the patch and I will try it. Btw, we had this problem pop up before, and IIRC other shells, besides Bash, had problems with some of the suggested solutions. It would be nice to make sure the proposed one doesn't break them. I don't remember the details, but they can be traced in the mailing list archives.
