[PATCH] apr_file_t->fname for a pipe

[Jeff Trawick]

apr_pipe_create() sets apr_file_t->fname to

  apr_pstrdup(p, "PIPE")

  (why not just "PIPE")

or   

  "\0" 

  (why not just "")

or

  ""

depending on the function.

Why not leave it NULL?  I don't see any code to retrieve it.
Presumably if somebody is looking at the structure in memory they'll
realize that NULL is okay since it is a pipe.

OS/2 seems to have a valid name so that code is unaffected.
