My musing in the above thread was apparently incorrect.  This
has nothing to do with my buggy fifo implementation.  I did a little
more checking on this and the problem is that something like this
doesn't work right now in cygwin:

echo hello >/proc/self/fd/1

when it should.  Implementing this isn't too tricky.  However,
implementing the more general:

echo hello >/proc/<some-other-pid>/fd/1

is harder.
