Please, take a look at this patch. Issue : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8037274 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jbachorik/8037274/webrev.00/
This patch adds an additional info to the error message issued when an attempt to create a named pipe fails. This is supposed to help when identifying the failure cause. The fix is pretty simple but the code I produced might not be exactly aligned with the general C coding style in JDK source base. If you see any violation, please, let me know.
Thanks! -JB-
