    Thanks for making this change. Considering that there is at least one more 
system where this problem shows up, I suggest that we add an evnironment 
variable check, something like sqoop.use.mkfifo, which if set turns this 
behavior.

bq.  Testing
bq.  -------
bq.  
bq.  No new tests as the functionality is covered by an existing unit test. I 
ran the existing unit test and it worked. I don't have a Mac to test on right 
now, so it might be good to run the unit tests on one before commit.
