It seems to break redirection generally. I just noticed a lot of new
warnings about umount failures at boot time. This is because such errors
are normal and are intentionally ignored in the following line in /etc/rc:
umount -a >/dev/null 2>&1
but redirection of stderr is broken and the error output is sent to the
console.
