Oh, you found post-pledge /dev/null open.

                /*
                 * Set stderr to /dev/null.  Necessary so that cron does not
                 * wait for cpp to finish if it's running calendar -a.
                 */
                if (doall) {
                        int fderr;
                        fderr = open(_PATH_DEVNULL, O_WRONLY);
                        if (fderr == -1)
                                _exit(0);

Sure.
