>Environment:

	Recent current.  Since the 2.1.5 CDROM has the hylafax package,
	this problem doesn't exist in 2.1-*.  Also, I see a hylafax
	package in packages-current, dated March 9, 1996, so I would
	guess the problem is introduced since then.

>Description:

	If your package contains a named pipe, pkg_create will just hang.
	(Also, ^C will cause it to splat the +* files all over the current
	directory.)

>How-To-Repeat:

	cd /usr/ports/comms/hylafax; make package

>Fix:
	
	Well I deleted FIFO from pkg/PLIST for now but I'm sure Jordan
	knows better. :)
