Yeah, the Win32 pipe code is pretty buggy.  Rather than trying to debug it,
I think the best solution is to toss it out, import Nathan Myers's Win32
socketpair.c into our tree, and replace the existing pipe code with a cross
platform implementation that uses socketpair().

I started working on doing exactly this a while back but got busy with other
stuff.  I'll try to find some time to work on it again soon.
