just this: in your example, if parent needs to write more than some
pipe-buf-limit (i think 32k) to child and/or if child produces output
larger than this limit and blocks on the write, it would be a problem.

i attached my example of using only one pipe which requires two
rendezvous points and customization of the slave proc; this could
have a deadlock when a child requires multiple reads to cause a write.
