Public bug reported:
read fifo child processes can get blocked if the parent is killed and
the fifo has not been opened by the writer parent. The best way forward
is for the child to open the fifo in non-blocking mode and select() on
the file descriptor waiting for data to arrive. We can then add a
timeout to this and bail out if need be.
