I'm comfortable now with merging topic/fifo into master.  I've tested the new 
select and fork code [*], and they seem to work as expected.  That was the last 
thing holding me up.

As soon as the merge is done, I'll send a patch with release notes.

[*] For the record, I'm attaching the two test programs I used.  In each case I 
ran the program in one terminal and typed "echo blah > /tmp/myfifo" in a second 
terminal.
