Looking into this a bit more and reading the documentation (sorry, I
picked this up because I know something about win32 and not because I
know multiprocessing), it looks like a connection is supposed to be
message oriented and not byte oriented so that a recv() should return
what is sent in a single send(). This is like how Queue works in the
threading case. Note that I think the method signature when using the
dummy.connection differ when using pipe_connection and that the two
differ in what happens when several send_bytes's occur before a recv_bytes
I'm currently leaning toward essentially leaving the current behavior
(and documenting it) though maybe with a better exception and
documenting that large byte arrays can't be sent through the pipe.
What's still an issue is if a pickle ends up being too large.
