Hello,

I noticed mkfifo works differently in linux and freebsd. In linux, I can
do os.mkfifo(file); f = open(file) and then read from f, etc.. Under
freebsd, when I try to open created fifo, it hangs.. 

Anyone know how to deal with this? Is this the right place to ask?
Should I go to some freebsd groups (I hear they don't like to answer
questions, though)?
