Ok I got where the error is but I don't know how fix it :-)

ioc = g_io_channel_new_file ( tmp , "r" , NULL );
        g_io_channel_set_encoding (ioc, NULL , NULL);
    g_io_channel_set_flags ( ioc , G_IO_FLAG_NONBLOCK , NULL );

	while ( g_io_channel_read_chars ( ioc, buffer, sizeof(buffer), 
&bytes_read, &error ) == G_IO_STATUS_NORMAL )
    {
        if ( error != NULL )
        {
            g_print ("Read Error: %s\n" , error->message);
            g_error_free ( error );
            g_io_channel_shutdown ( ioc,TRUE,NULL );
                    g_io_channel_unref (ioc);
                    g_spawn_close_pid ( child_pid );
            g_free (tmp);
        }
        g_print ("Bytes letti: %d\t" , bytes_read);
        status = g_io_channel_write_chars ( input_ioc , buffer , 
bytes_read , &bytes_write , &error );
        g_print ("Bytes scritti: %d\n" , bytes_write);
        if ( status == G_IO_STATUS_ERROR )
        {
            g_print ("Write Error: %s\n" , error->message);
            g_error_free ( error );
            g_io_channel_shutdown ( ioc,TRUE,NULL );
                    g_io_channel_unref (ioc);
                    g_spawn_close_pid ( child_pid );
            g_free (tmp);
        }
    }

The red bytes do not correspond to the written ones:
Bytes letti: 65536      Bytes scritti: 65536
Bytes letti: 65536      Bytes scritti: 2015
Bytes letti: 65536      Bytes scritti: 0
Bytes letti: 65536      Bytes scritti: 0
Bytes letti: 65536      Bytes scritti: 0
Bytes letti: 12288      Bytes scritti: 0

The strangeness is that I do not have any error, the status of 
operation is always G_IO_STATUS_NORMAL; any clue ?

Thank you,
