Yes that casts light on the problem.  Did you get around to trying to 
reverse the direction of the data flow through the pipe or any other 
similar testing to form a conclusion ?


The problem here is that I am a Unix person, this is the principal 
reason why CYGWIN appeals to me.  So I really dont have the motivation 
to "investigate" the matter and hunt down undocumented platform quirks. 
  The FILE_PIPE_LOCAL_INFORMATION is also an undocumented use of 
NtQueryInformationFile.

I do have the energy to work on my proposal to implement until 
completion but even that it a little mared by the possibility of having 
such a patch rejected by the committers.

Unfortunately this is how open source is, no one has the right to 
dictate what another person spends his time working on.
