Yeah, I guess it could be the pipe itself. There is a size limit
(usually about 5K) on what you can "atomically" write to a pipe. But
other than that, pipes should work. I used to have a simulation that
hooked 10-15 processes together that piped >= 10000 frames of data, each
frame consisting of thousands of bytes. The simulations may not have
worked right, but it wasn't because of the pipes. :-)

No problem. I was just curious.
