Who wants a -u? You can just redirect into a read you know...
while read one <&5 && read two <&6; do
I suspect -u isn't very portable, and it is unnecessary anyway. (Looks at "man
ksh"; maybe it is portable!) But still, not needed. One can use the universally
recognised and understood redirection syntax instead of a read-specific special
option.
