CygWin-1.7.3-1 fails to provide pipe. (still)

Like benczur, I apologize for bringing this thread up once more
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-05/msg00488.html), but I am still
having the issue with named pipes.  I run from one shell:
$ mkfifo /tmp/pipe
$ ls -l > /tmp/pipe

and from another:
$ cat < /tmp/pipe

and get this:
cat: -: Communication error on send

I've tried with both the latest release and the latest snapshot with
the same results.  Is this still an issue?
