Actually it does not! :) I tried opening it after the fork (in the RPM
process), just before the writer end is opened:
```
Fopen(namedPipeName, "r"); // here
fnamedPipe = Fopen(namedPipeName, "w");
```
And it just blocks on the first Fopen. Or am I missing something?

Yeah, probably. But like you said, rewriting it would probably be too risky at
this point, with little added benefit.
