sambamba-sort: Cannot open or create file '/dev/stdin' : No such file or directory

[ccario83]

First of all, awesome tool with a smart design. And easy to compile!

I've been running into the issue where /dev/stdin and /dev/stdout aren't defined, which leads to piping issues. These are normally sym-linked to /dev/stdin -> /proc/self/fd/0 and /dev/stdout -> /proc/self/fd/1 but the system admin for the cluster I'm running speedseq on is unable to create these for technical reasons I won't get into.

Is there a known workaround, or, alternatively, a reason why /proc/self/fd/0 and /proc/self/fd/1 aren't directly accessed?
