Re: Why can't a signature file be a named pipe?

[Colin Blake]

See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62582 cos I think they might be
related. Both the use of signature files and the use of "input type=file" use stat
to determine the length of the "file". Problem is that for "files" such as a pipe
or a device (eg /dev/tty) stat can't return a meaningful number, and this confuses
the calling code.
