Afaics that could also be in your script, not just plsh. The later doesn't seem to close all file handles above stderr,
whichmeans that all handles for relations etc week be open in your script. If you e.g. do any unusual redirections
(2>&17or such), that could end badly. But I'm just on my phone, in a taxi without seatbelts, at 60mph, so I didn't
lookcarefully.
