I'll have look at my pipe back end source code tomorrow to be sure, but two
thing s come to mind - the fields in the "DATA" response have to be separated
by single tabs, not spaces, and I believe the "-1" on the response is actually
supposed to match the I'd field in the query.
It's also possible that the pipe backend will not get any other queries if it
does not respond correctly to an SOA query.
