+/*++
+/* NAME
+/* fifo_rdwr_bug 1
+/* SUMMARY
+/* fifo server test program
+/* SYNOPSIS
+/* fifo_rdwr_bug
+/* DESCRIPTION
+/* fifo_rdwr_bug creates a FIFO and opens it read-write mode.
+/* On BSD/OS 3.1 select() will report that the FIFO is readable
+/* even before any data is written to it. Doing an actual read
+/* causes the read to block; a non-blocking read fails.
+/* DIAGNOSTICS
+/* Problems are reported to the standard error stream.
+/* LICENSE
+/* .ad
+/* .fi
+/* The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.
