Wow, they are broken. Under 2.3.34 I get:
sailboat> mkfifo /tmp/f sailboat> cat /tmp/f & [1] 943 sailboat> echo hello >/tmp/f sailboat> echo hello > /tmp/f sailboat> (echo hello;sleep 1) > /tmp/f hello hello hello
[1] Done cat /tmp/f
Under 2.0.35 everything seems to work fine. I do not have a 2.2.X kernel to test.
