It turns out that this isn't completely fixed, but I only see the problem when 
working under X11, and the error message is different.  Here are the complete 
reproduction steps:

1. Start the X server by using the XWin Server shortcut.

2. Use the X Applications Menu -> System Tools to start an xterm window.

3. In that window, execute the above 'ls' command.:

$ ls -lL <(grep bash .bashrc)
pr-------- 1 kbrown None 0 2019-07-26 17:24 /dev/fd/63
grep: write error: Broken pipe

This is with the 2019-07-22 snapshot.  With the 2019-07-25 snapshot, it's better 
but still broken: I have to run the ls command twice to get the error:

$ ls -lL <(grep bash .bashrc)
pr-------- 1 kbrown None 0 2019-07-26 17:39 /dev/fd/63

$ ls -lL <(grep bash .bashrc)
pr-------- 1 kbrown None 0 2019-07-26 17:39 /dev/fd/63
grep: write error: Broken pipe

Here's one more fact, which may or not provide further clues: When I exited the 
X server while testing the 2019-07-22 snapshot, there was a /bin/sh process 
still running that I couldn't kill with 'kill -9'.  I had to kill it with the 
Task Manager.

Finally, here's an excerpt from the strace output for the failing ls command:

    24   23441 [main] ls 1033 fhandler_proc::get_proc_fhandler: 
get_proc_fhandler(/proc/1033/fd/63)
    25   23466 [main] ls 1033 mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: src_path

    28   23494 [main] ls 1033 build_fh_pc: fh 0x180340098, dev 000000FB
    24   23518 [main] ls 1033 fhandler_process::exists: exists (/proc/1033/fd/63)
    28   23546 [main] ls 1033 __set_errno: cygheap_fdget::cygheap_fdget(int, 
bool, bool):679 setting errno 9
    24   23570 [main] ls 1033 __set_errno: off_t format_process_fd(void*, 
char*&):394 setting errno 2

I'm in the process of building an unoptimized cygwin1.dll to see if I can get 
further information.
