In order to watch out for lost bytes in a pipe I encountered this
segfault.
It seems that the readEnd is already closed when rawRead = fread
is
called (uncomment the eof line).
How do I keep the pipe open?
```piperawreadsegfault.d (linux)
import std.stdio;
import std.process;
void main ()
{
auto dev_zero = File ("/dev/zero", "r");
auto dev_null = File ("/dev/null", "w");
auto p = pipe ();
auto proc1 = spawnProcess (["dd", "bs=4096", "count=2"],
dev_zero, p.writeEnd);
auto proc2 = spawnProcess (["dd", "bs=4096", "count=1"],
p.readEnd, dev_null);
auto res2 = wait (proc2);
auto res1 = wait (proc1);
stderr.writeln ("res1 = ", res1, ", res2 = ", res2);
// stderr.writeln (p.readEnd.eof);
ubyte [1] u;
auto n = p.readEnd.rawRead (u);
}
```
