  Hi David!
      I'll give the patches you provided a shot this weekend.
  Thanks!

FIFO pipe is quite broken! Beside the bug you have reported, there is another bug,
when a writer closed the pipe, select() on reader side will never return !
I am curious that so long time, nobody found the bugs, does it because FIFO
is seldom used by people ?
