} people still use it because it is smaller
} obrien has already tried to remove it once (in Mar 1999)

It appears to be a descriptor that your shell failed to close before
execing your test program.  Unless you do something out of the ordinary
like run
	program 27>somefile
the shell should only leave three descriptors (0, 1, and 2 for stdin, stdout,
and stderr) open when it execs another program.
