Since you're top-posting it isn't clear exactly what you're refering to
in my posting, but this suggestion:

- most certainly does *not* require any more local storage than your
original attempt. And I'll readily agree with Richard that named pipes
can be "tricky things".:-)

The test I reported having done was just to show that named pipes worked
the way you were using them - on the particular OSes I used, with the
particular OpenSSH versions - not a suggestion for you. However
Richard's analysis to figure out what code you were actually using
earlier/currently, combined with this test of mine, could possibly
indicate that the problem is with F-Secure SSH, and could be solved by
using OpenSSH instead. However you could try the above first...
