Basically, what I was trying to do was this. In the main thread:
fIpcPipe:= CreateNamedPipe(PChar(fIpcName), PIPE_ACCESS_INBOUND,

That works. Fire up a background reader thread, and make sure that
the main thread doesn't proceed...
So you are not creating the "read" pipe in the context of the thread
that actually reads from it?
I'm not sure that this is actually supported, maybe you should try to
create it in the context of the reading thread.
I agree, but ever since threads were introduced (OS/2 v1 or perhaps
even earlier) doctrine has had it that ownership (of memory, handles
and so on) was by process while state (stack content and runability)
was by thread.
Yes, I agree, that's the basic principle with threads. But that's Win32
we are talking about here, and more often than not, things only work
withing the context of the same thread, especially when it comes to
resource handles.
