Why is open_in_bin needed to access stdin and stdout? I've personally had no
problems chaining processes in OCaml under Windows (and the particular
chaining is the control program for a Win32 Service so it's a long-lived
process chain) though I did need to use set_binary_mode_in and
set_binary_mode_out on stdin, stdout and stderr to disable OCaml's \r\n
masking but I think that was for an application-specific reason rather than
because something didn't work with the pipes.
