Normally, it would be better to use exec 5>&1 and exec 6>&2, using output redirection notation rather than input redirection notation for the outputs. You get away with it because when the script is run from a terminal, standard input is also writable and both standard output and standard error are readable by virtue (or is it 'vice'?) of a historical quirk: the terminal is opened for reading and writing and the same open file description is used for all three standard I/O file descriptors.
