I think (but I'd have to recheck) that if the pipe is already connected when
NtFsControlFile is called, then the latter returns STATUS_PIPE_CONNECTED. But
if you first get STATUS_PENDING and then set status = io.Status after
completion, then the result is STATUS_SUCCESS.
I might not have that exactly right. All I remember for sure is that I was
debugging a listen_pipe failure, and it turned out to be due to STATUS_SUCCESS
being treated as an error condition.
