It's a bit hard to seperate the bits out, which is why it happened
as one commit. I'll see if I can come up with something to segregate
the code out a bit. One possibility would be to add a printf to
the internalise and externalise functions in uipc_usrreq.c - that
way we can see if it is actually executing the code there. If it's
not, then that narrows things down a bit.

Hmm - I don't think my code should have changed fifos or pipes at all.

Maybe I'll try installing qmail at home and reproducing the problem.

OK - that eliminates one possibility ;-)
