This is what I though too, but then i tried it
$ cat > foo
a
b
c

on another console
$ cat foo
a
b
c
$ echo > foo

$
then type something in the "cat" console
a
b
Switch to the "echo" console:
$ cat foo
a
b

The bash redirector apparently doesn't unlink the original file, it 
keeps operating on the same inode - something that I didn't know until 
this ;).
