  Confirmed.  It appears that start_thread_pipe() is called for both pipes and
fifos, but only for pipes is there a device_specific_pipe in the
select_pipe_info struct passed in; for fifos this pointer is null.  This is
down to the different initialisation sequences in fhandler_pipe::except_* vs.
fhandler_fifo::except_*.  I'm not sure if this is an omission in the except_*
functions or an oversight in the start_thread_pipe function; cgf will know
what to do.

    cheers,
