I've been working with a program suite that sets up a named pipe
(/var/spool/ppr/PIPE). I abandoned the pipe mechanism in libc.a in
favor on the one in libsrv4.a. The program works now except when I
kill it the pipe remains. If I try rm, I get the message "Device
busy". The problem is that I can't restart the program at this point
because the program can no longer open a pipe with the old one there.
Rebooting clears the p flag on the file and then the program can be
restarted. Anyone have any ideas?
