Basically, what I was trying to do was this. In the main thread:

    fIpcPipe:= CreateNamedPipe(PChar(fIpcName), PIPE_ACCESS_INBOUND,
                        PIPE_TYPE_MESSAGE + PIPE_READMODE_MESSAGE,
                                1, 0, 0, 1000, NIL (* @sa *) );

That works. Fire up a background reader thread, and make sure that the main thread doesn't proceed...
So you are not creating the "read" pipe in the context of the thread that actually reads from it? I'm not sure that this is actually supported, maybe you should try to create it in the context of the reading thread.

Further to this, I don't see the usage for Suspend. I mean, why suspend the reading thread? Or maybe I misunderstood what TSphinxThread is. And yes, Suspend is deprecated, but for VERY good reasons, as it can actually suspend your thread in the middle of an API call, and that is VERY dangerous.

And last, I would not use the sleep look but a simple TEvent to notify the main thread that the reader thread is ready. Much more efficient.
