Description
hi folks,
I tried some regression tests from freebsd and
src/tools/regression/pipe/pipe-reverse.c1 failed
% ./pipe-reverse
Wrote 32768 bytes, sleeping
Wrote another 8192 bytes, 40960 total, done
Read 16384 bytes, going back to sleep
Read 8192 bytes, done
FAILURE
maybe you want to take a look at it

The test program is broken. read() calls to a pipe are not guarenteed
to return the number of bytes requested in the read() system call. They
can return fewer, and they do in this case.
