IO#reopen bug in 1.8.4?

Ruby
1

Greetings list,

$stdout.fileno => 1
$stderr.fileno => 2
$stderr.reopen($stdout)
$stderr.fileno => 2

Shouldn’t that last line evaluate to 1?

BTW, it does indeed redirect STDERR to STDOUT, it’s just that the
#fileno
appears to be wrong.

SA_RESTORER|SA_RESTART, 0x3710d8}, 8) = 0
exit_group(0) = ?

so all that’s happening is a dup2. in that case there should in fact be
two
fds (fileno).
