I have an impression that it's like using a canon to kill a mosquito. It  
sure solves a problem of two applications writing to a pipe at the same  
moment and provides a bi-directional communicatioon but is (IMO) a bit too  
complex.

BTW. I've found out why select() didn't work. If anyone is interested, you  
have to move calls of FD_* macros inside the do loop in thread_func  
function, ie:

	do {
		/* Wait for data */
		FD_ZERO(&rfds);
		FD_SET(fd, &rfds);
		tv.tv_sec = 1;
		tv.tv_usec = 0;
		if (select(fd+1, &rfds, 0, 0, &tv)<=0) continue;
