Hi all,

I've been trying to subscribe to the mailing list. I've sent four emails 
in total to lyx-users-subscr...@lists.lyx.org over the last four days, 
but only received one "confirmation" reply. I've checked my spam box, 
but nothing is there.

I replied to the single "confirmation" email five times in total as 
well, but received no reply. I also tried emailing 
lyx-users-h...@lists.lyx.org , but got no reply. Hopefully this email 
gets through to the list, but please cc: me directly.

==========

LyX's pipes recently stopped working. I used to be able to open a file 
in an existing LyX instance with

    echo "LYXCMD:lyx-script:file-open:filename.lyx" > ~/.lyx/lyxpipe.in

However, this no longer works. The command stalls, and the file is not 
opened. I confirmed the absence of pipes when LyX was closed, and the 
presence when it restarted.

JabRef is also failing to push references to LyX, although it doesn't 
report any errors.

I attempted starting LyX with `lyx -dbg 8192 filename.lyx`, with the 
following output.

$ lyx -dbg 8192 filename.lyx

LyXComm: Could not close pipe /home/pete/.lyx/lyxpipe.in
Bad file descriptor

The final two lines appear when I quit, although the file *is* deleted. 
How can I get LyX's pipes working again?

Arch Linux: up-to-date.
LyX 2.1.4 from official Arch packages.

Cheers,
Pete.
