Is this a known limitation (similar to max string size of 0x00ffffff)?
I use pipe to connect through multiple processes (like grep / sort
/uniq,etc) and it is very handy.
I'm hoping that this is a bug and not a limitation...
Try the following code, enter 1500 is OK but if you enter 2000, the
program will abort with a broken pipe.
Thanks,
