I havent looked at the code, but whats the behavior that is used when reading from pipes? There's 2 ways of seeing if theres data on a pipe, doing a periodic non-blocking read, and doing a select. From the documentation it sounded like doing a non-blocking read was the default behavior to check if theres data on the pipe, and that setting follow-freq to 0 changed it to a select() call. So without having this option available, which does it use?

No point in allowing follow-freq() for pipe sources, so this is a documentation bug and should be removed from there.
