[1.] fifo behaviour is broken in 2.4.4
[2.] fifo are being flushed. Sending characters to a fifo, select(2) returns
'ready to read' on the fifo, but attempting to determine the number of
characters in fifo returns zero.
[3.] mkfifo select flush kernel fs
[4.] Linux version 2.4.4 (root@devl) (gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)) #1 Sat Apr 28 21:15:56 BST 2001
[5.] Not Ooops.
[6.]
In first session:
mkfifo /tmp/myfifo
while (sleep 2)
do
echo fred > /tmp/myfifo
done
In second session:
tail -f /tmp/myfifo
Expect 2nd session to display 'fred' every 2 seconds.
Results I am getting, in 2.4.4, just one 'fred'.

Test of expectations:
Linux 2.4.3 as expected (albeit with 'file trucation' warnings)
Solaris 2.6: as expected
