I need to run about 5 or 6 processes reading separate fifo entries in an NFS directory. &lt;br&gt;
It seems that if more than one reader reads a fifo (created via mknod), the data gets mangled.  &lt;br&gt;
I tried using [doc://msgget], etc., but that fails, apparently due to poor msg.ph files,
and I'm not allowed to install a C compiler in this environment, so I can't even install the IPCSysV module. &lt;br&gt;
Any ideas?
