I've found a problem with the named_pipe.c in the server.
Is there anyone out there who purports to be an expert or is it up to me to fix it?
(Basically the server is creating a named pipe, reading from it, writing back to it, flushing and closing, all before the client has read the reply; the wineserver crashes as the client tries to read because it's copy no longer has an fd)

Actually the bug is that there is no flush function. The server flush should block until the client has read the data. Now that is way beyond my current knowledge. (and another example of Microsoft stupidity?)
Hi Bill,
Well, I wrote the code, so you can blame me if you like. Doesn't mean I know how to fix it though. :)
The code as it is still has lots of problems and unsupported features. I had a go at rewriting it about a month ago, but Alexandre disagreed with my new code and I haven't had time to look at it since. There's a patch on wine-patches somewhere if you want to try it out.
