Yes, accessing the files through runat works.
I think /proc (and /dev/fd, which has the same trouble but only works
if the same process accesses the fds, for obvious reasons since
/dev/fd is per process and can not be shared between processes unlike
/proc/$pid/fd/) gets confused because the directories have no name.
pfiles gets confused in a similar way and some times crashes, but
without a predictable pattern or test case.
As interestingly side note, doing a cd to the /proc/$$/fd/$fd first works:
-------- cut here --------
touch x4 ; cd -@ x4 ; redirect {n}<"." ; cd .. ;
(cd "/proc/$$/fd/$n" ; print "hello1" >"myxattr") ;
(cd -@ x4 ; cat "myxattr" ) ;
rm x4
-------- stop cutting here --------
Accessing the file with the full path directly does not work:
-------- cut here --------
touch x1 ; cd -@ x1 ; redirect {n}<"." ; cd .. ;
print "hello1" >"/proc/$$/fd/$n/myxattr1" ;
(cd -@ x1 ; cat "myxattr1" ) ;
rm x1
-------- stop cutting here --------
