That's quite possible.  Win32 is infamous for its rather broken  
pipes.  One aspect of that is that pipes and network sockets behave  
differently wrt select(), mostly in that pipes tend to be broken  
while sockets work.  I'd give more and better details but i don't  
have a win32 machine handy to verify my recollections.

FYI, this code works flawlessly on Mac OS X Tiger and on Linux.
