I really did mean echo to see if <(...) does something useful at all on that 
box, but it's interesting to see that other than diff, cat succeeds. So it's 
a diff bug on that platform most likely. You could try debugging it with 
strace / ltrace / truss (maybe swapping the diff arguments),

        $ echo foo > foo
        $ strace diff foo <(echo bar)

but I don't think that knowing why this diff is broken would help us. We 
didn't rely on <(...) very much, so I've replaced it where we have been using 
it.
