I also agree with you.

So, currently we have three options.

1) Call CancelIo() immediately after STATUS_PENDING like my patch.
2) Wait for pipe handle after STATUS_PENDING for nonblocking mode
   like Ken's patch.
3) Create evt event even for nonblocking mode as Corinna mentioned.

Which is the best solution, do you think?
