[comp.unix.ultrix] Problems with redirection under sh5 on DEC 5000/200 Ultrix 4.1

Hi there,

	I am having a problem porting some 'sh' code from a Sun (SunOS4.1)
to an Ultrix machine.  I made the mistake of discovering functions in the
'sh' on the Sun and overused them.  So I figured, OK just run sh5 on the
Ultrix platform.  Problem is unrelated to functions.

	I have a program that outputs to fd's 1,3,4.

	Under sh I say : 

	infile=filenumber0
	outfile1=filenumer1
	outfile3=filenumer3
	outfile4=filenumer4

	prog < $infile > $outfile1 3> $outfile3 4> $outfile4

	And all 3 files have the correct contents.

	Under sh5 using the same exact code filenumber4 is zero length.

	Any one know what is going on.
