Some shells support a =(...) construct, which is like <(...) except it expands not to a pipe but to an ordinary file, which can be seek()ed, stat()ed, etc., so this problem wouldn't arise. > the code that uses stat() to get the filesize doesn't work because the > pipe filesize is zero. There is other code that doesn't use stat() and > reads in block until EOF, and that works for pipes. We might be able > to fix the code that uses stat() by having it check for EOF as well.
