I've checked in code which allows to resolve pipes and sockets.  In
contrast to Linux, the patch does not allow to re-open the pipe.  Instead,
it behaves as if the process tries to oopen a socket, it returns -1 and
sets errno to ENXIO.

I have a vague idea how to implement opening such a pipe of another
process, but I have to mull over it a bit longer.
