The problem is that kqueue is known to not work well with pipes; specifically, the available data is not correctly reported. This was noted by Alfred before. BTW: This was one of the motivating factors in my recent set of patches to support System V Message Queues with kqueue: I needed a reliable IPC delivery mechanism that worked via kqueue, and pipes were not it, and I didn't want to have to worry about net based attacks on my IPC mechanism, so I didn't use sockets. Contact Alfred for details on the pipe issue, since he discovered it about the middle of last year. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
