Thanks for the reply. The same log.exe works well in accepting inputs in, e.g., "dir | log", so I don't see why it would fail when launched by httpd.
As far as I know, httpd on windows is multi-threaded, meaning there is only one child that creates all the threads to handle requests. (There should be another parent child, which doesn't create threads.) So are you saying that each thread launched its own log.exe process? Doesn't sound right to me... Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The only way this would fail is if somehow the write end of the pipe is inhereted by the child process. Launching your program 5x isn't a bug, depending on your config. Both the parent process and child process will launch during startup. That behavior is unique to windows because child isn't forked.
