Please let me know if you disagree or can explain the reasoning further to say the issue is in acct -- for now, reassigning to ksh, since ls also sees the pipe building fd/0 as a socket.

Bug#159090: acct: "-f -" option works for pipe:[xxx] but not socket:[xxx]
Package: acct Version: 6.5.4-2.1 Severity: normal The problem show specifically when using the ksh package, as opposed to the pdksh package (or possibly others).
