Try enlarging this number (to 60 or something) and see if that helps.
You will need to reboot in order for the change to take its effect.

Try without this line.  SETVER is evil.

Btw, what is this DMI thing you have installed?  For example, the
following lines show it:

Why did you need these two lines?  I think they can be dangerous,
although I cannot find any immediate link to your problem with pipes.
I suggest trying without them, just in case.

In any case, you shouldn't edit DJGPP.ENV to add such lines.  You
could set them in the environment, e.g., from AUTOEXEC.BAT.  Editing
DJGPP.ENV is a Bad Idea (tm).
