Comment (by Chris Johns):

 Replying to [comment:2 Chris Johns]:
 > I have an issue on 4.11 where a printf line in changes what happens and
 I am not sure why. I need to resolve this. I will then create a 4.11 clone
 of this ticket and post a patch for that branch.

 I have chased the issue down to how we set up the re-entrant struct newlib
 uses in our threads. My changes follow what exists ...
 {{{
   FILE *input = fopen(shell_env->input, "r");
   if (input == NULL)
      error(...);
   stdin = input;
 }}}
 The only calls on `stdin` before the assignment are `fileno(stdin)` and
 this does not touch the re-entrant struct so the first call to libc after
 the assignment is `setvbuf(stdout, NULL, _IONBF, 0);` and newlib performs
 it's lazy initialisation and resets the re-entrant struct.

 This issue is present on 4.11 and 5 as far as I can see.
