Bash Version: 4.3
Patch Level: 11  
Release Status: release

Description:
        exec hangs up when using "exec 2>SOMETHING". Just tested on Ubuntu 
14.04, Ubuntu 12.04, Debian7
        working when just using "exec 1>SOMETHING"

Repeat-By:
        using in a script for logging
        or just try it in bash or dash 

Fix:
        Dont't know how to fix it
        Just using the workaround with "PATH/SCRIPT 2>SOMETHING" which does 
not use exec
