bash$ strings <(ls)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


The problem will also manifest itself reading from
a named pipe:

bash$ mkfifo /tmp/fifo
bash$ cat </etc/passwd >/tmp/fifo&
[1] 8238
bash$ strings /tmp/fifo
[1]+  Done                    cat </etc/passwd >/tmp/fifo
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


The problem exists in v2.9.1 also.
