I don't know what is going wrong, but glibc-2.1.2 behaves in the
same way.

Another thing that I find strange about pipes in glibc is that
setting O_ASYNC will never raise a SIGIO on pipes, although setting
the O_ASYNC flag on a pipe does not result in an error, and
the glibc manual clearly states in the section Asynchronous I/O Signals
that in the GNU system, SIGIO will always be generated properly
if you successfully set asynchronous mode with fcntl.
