+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileOutputProc): Fixed [bug 465765] reported
+ by Dale Talcott <daletalcott@users.sourceforge.net>. Avoid
+ writing nothing into a file as STREAM based implementations will
+ consider this a EOF (if the file is a pipe). Not done in the
+ generic layer as this type of writing is actually useful to
+ check the state of a socket.
+
* doc/open.n: Fixed [Bug 511540], added cross-reference to 'pid'
as the command to use to retrieve the pid of a command pipeline
created via 'open'.
