Hello Everyone and Joyous Christmas and/or Hanukkah,

I found the problem with the FIFOs. The problem is that I was reading 
from the FIFO, but not as a redirection to stdin. I was doing it like 
so: input <byline> [ :*:pipe: ] (:mydata:)

This doesn't work, at least on Linux, because crm114 keeps closing the 
file. Whenever it closes the file (every time the input completes, I 
believe), the kernel drops whatever data is in the buffer.

I do not think this is good as some programs may need multiple FIFOs. I 
do not, so for now, I am just doing redirection and now my program works 
perfectly.
