The command:

        /bin/sh ( (/bin/rmail user@node ; /bin/rm -f tmpfile) & ) < tmpfile

seems to delete tmpfile before using tmpfile as input. This problem appeared
when I was rebuilding Elm under 0.97 and it tried to deliver mail. All of the
mail would arrive with no message and minimal headers (those built by rmail).

Executing the same command (less /bin/sh) under the tcsh works as expected.

Is this a bug in bash?
