Yes, this works... I upgraded a sacrificial laptop. FIFOs never worked anyway and every test that should pass does. If stout-heartedness prevails, we may produce a 4.2.4 with this fix and the fix for the -nt/-ot test problem. If you apply this to 4.2.3, you'll need autoconf 2.5x. Otherwise you can cheat by doctoring configure by hand...
