What I'm doing is running a pipe between two background processes. Opening
pipe for reading and writing both fail "illegal seek". Does this qualify
as "special requirements" ?
In any event I'm curious now to know what this file does do (and perhaps
some example of the sort of special requirements that might require it) ?
I've checked the file descriptor usage and am certain I have them right
(but I've been wrong before :))
