Well, not quite.  That section begins:
.
    If the user tries to open a file descriptor for writing more than once,
.
but there is actually a paragraph, buried halfway through that section,
that reads:
.
    If the user tries to open a file descriptor for reading more than once,

So, the information is there, but it's not clearly organized.  Again,
anyone wants to take a stab at that section?  The sources are in Doc/Zsh/.

Thanks, Jett.
