Our application is a bit complex and I have now narrowed it down

The ENIXIO occurs when parallel child-processes simultaneously using
O_NONBLOCK opening the descriptor. We're sometimes opening it blocking and
sometimes non-blocking and it seems like when the 2:nd non-blocking process
tries to open it gets ENIXIO. The child process open and closes the
fifo-descriptor for writing multiple times. I could provide a code-snippet
to reproduce it if wanted ?

Tnx for showing interest btw
