That's a symptom, not the problem. The problem is (or appears to be,
from the given description) that Amanda doesn't handle the possibility
of the helper process sending enough data to fill up the pipe buffer.
It should read data from the pipe as it becomes available, so that
there's no risk for the helper process to deadlock with it.
