> or rendezvous

i'm not sure rendezvous is an option here (you've no control over the child
process after execing it), and even if you did (e.g. by doing the wait in another
process), it still doesn't get around the fact that
when the data's large you need to be reading it at the same time that
the child is writing it - there's no appropriate time to rendezvous.
