   Good day everyone,

   Bill, you have fixed the failure to release fifo file descriptors in=20
   20080703. Sorry for the very late report.

   However, there are now other FIFO handling bugs. Using output statements =

   and other tests I am fairly certain these are in crm and not the Linux=20
   Kernel (kernel-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64). Again, this is a dual core=20
   Athlon 64 machine with 4 gigabytes of memory.

   CRM on reading a FIFO, if the data comes too quickly loses data (input=20
   <byline>). Lines are always complete, but some lines are lost.

   I am doing syscall <async> to a function (source available upon=20
   request). Many outputs to the FIFO (done shortly before exit) are not=20
   really done. However, a debug output [stderr] done right after them does =
   work.

   Any ideas?

Nope... no ideas.

But if you can post source to a test case that shows the misbehavior,
that would be very useful!
