I've even seen situations where ReadFile blocks indefinitely, even after
the other end of the pipe was closed.  That was plaguing us on the
TortoiseCVS project; in fact, we had to start another thread to handle
pipe I/O, so that we could kill it if there was nothing to read (which
happens with CVS in some cases, even some non-error ones).
