Seems as though there is probably a small bug of not closing the file 
descriptor:

2.0.11 -

write(1, "2 day ago\n", 10)             = 10
close(1)                                = 0
munmap(0x40014000, 4096)                = 0
_exit(0)                                = ?


2.0
write(1, "2 day ago\n", 10)             = 10
munmap(0x40014000, 4096)                = 0
_exit(0)                                = ?
