Ah, so it isn't just me.
In this case, I cleverly rewrote the named pipe handling to use
overlapped I/O and real named pipes but only did 95% of the
implementation. I missed the select() part although I have a clear
remembrance of implementing it. Must have been a late-night
hallucination.
That's why I spent the first hour of debugging setting breakpoints
and saying "Huh? Why didn't it get there???"
