AFAIK, there is no working bidirectionnal pipes on Windows ! The 
functions exists in order for them to claim being POSIX, but they're not 
working properly. Under Windows environment, I suppose you have to find 
your way using their buggy pipes (and by no means their "POSIX" pipes) 
or you have to use another inter-process communication protocol (DDE, 
COM, ...).
