This is a very nasty solution, a potential problem could very well be
that the kernel writes to the fifo and fills the buffer before the
program kan read it (or (re)start and read it). Wouldn't that make
the write block? Generally I'm not too fond of the kernel beeing
dependant on a perticular program running. There must be another
way of doing it!
