ash: regressions in process substitution

Browse Source 
Stacy Harper reports that this script:

   test() { . /tmp/bb_test; }
   echo "export TEST=foo" >/tmp/bb_test
   test 2>/dev/null
   echo "$TEST"

correctly prints 'foo' in BusyBox 1.33 but hangs in 1.34.

Bisection suggested the problem was caused by commit a1b0d3856 (ash: add
process substitution in bash-compatibility mode).  Removing the call to
unwindredir() in cmdloop() introduced in that commit makes the script
work again.

Additionally, these examples of process substitution:

   while true; do cat <(echo hi); done
   f() { while true; do cat <(echo hi); done }
   f

result in running out of file descriptors.  This is a regression from
v5 of the process substitution patch caused by changes to evalcommand()
not being transferred to v6.
