Vitaly added the comment:
Sorry, there is no traceback. The issue was identified in code review.
'man 2 read' states:
===
The system guaran-
tees to read the number of bytes requested if the descriptor references a
normal file that has that many bytes left before the end-of-file, but in
no other case.
===
Since a pipe is not a "normal file", the guarantee to "read the number of bytes
requested" does not apply.
