Log:
  Remove invalid remark about pipes.
  
  The stat structures returned on pipes seems to contain all the
  information required by POSIX. Especially the wording "and thus to a
  pipe" makes little sense, because it seems to imply a certain
  relationship between sockets and pipes that simply isn't there.
