Chances are this bug does not exist anymore.  Robert Watson rewrote a large 
amount of the pipe code to improve its locking and security, and I hammered 
out some left-over bugs that showed up with SMP testing.  Please try either 
upgrading to -CURRENT or, if you are not using MAC, these two diffs might be 
all you need:
