 because of the locking sematics in file_write, it seeks on the named 
 pipe fd and fails, thus erroring out on any writes to the fd.
 
 it doesnt use pipe_write because this is not a pipe fd created with 
 the syscall pipe() via CreatePipe() in io-layer.c. this is a named 
 pipe on the filesystem (an unseekable file).

+The file locking is going to be rewritten soon.  In the meantime, if
+you feel like producing a patch that does something along the lines of
+fstat () followed by S_ISREG(mode) around the locking, I will review it.
