Hi,
is there a known problem with named pipes in -CURRENT?
The following shell script freezes a machine in several minutes and needs
a power cycle. You can see the increasing memory in vmstat -z (unpcb) and
netstat -u. The kernel is FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT Tue Nov 4 14:08:23 CET 2003.

mkfifo ${FIFO}
echo blubb > ${FIFO} &
kill $!
rm ${FIFO}
done
