Description:
When MediaWiki shells out to external programs (e.g., tidy), it redirects some of the file descriptors to /dev/null.
If the open_basedir PHP option is turned on, this prevents the execution of the external program because /dev is not usually included in the open_basedir paths.
It seems like there should be other ways to discard output rather than opening /dev/null. Could one of those methods be used instead?
