That pipe is open on stdout and stderr only.  (i.e. unidirectional) So
it's not much good for communication.  (It's performance is horrible
too due to the way the connection gets maintained.)  It's really just
there so that I can see the results of printf().  Doing communication
between the tasks is really the job of higher level libraries like PVM
and MPI.  Unfortunately I haven't gotten to modifying them to work
with bproc yet.  Sorry.
