I found a similar problem with Linux on some third-party website,
where a Postfix daemon has been reported to fail in fstat() with
the same error message.
The probable cause there is that the program was built in 32-bit
mode, causing the inode number for a pipe file handle to become
larger than 4 billion. Recompiling in 32-bit "large file"
mode or in 64-bit mode should fix the problem.
