Hi, I've began working on 1.5.0 and cleaned up pipe support. Thanks for the idea about O_RDWR pipes for "Klaus Groenhoej" <kgr@kmd.dk>. No need to check for spuriously closed pipes now. I've backported the patch to 1.4.0 and is available attached to this mail. This adds no additional functionality, and 1.4.0 should be o.k. as well, so I don't release 1.4.1 immediately, rather I wait for feedback on 1.4.0.
