I looked into this problem and found it seems that the problem
is due to the pipe mode. Cygwin pipe is set FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED
and PIPE_TYPE_MESSAGE (by default). According to my test, this
test case works only if the pipe between produce.exe and consume.exe
is PIPE_TYPE_BYTE and not FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED set.
I am not sure how the issue can be fixed.
