 Please re-open the bugreport.
 Yours is certainly a better test case.
 Perhaps it's unfair to call it a regression, but the fact is that
 compiling with 2.95.3 (with the old libstdc++) gets this right.
 
 The problem is that if I read from a named pipe through an ifstream, I
 can read only when the buffer is full or the pipe is closed, but
 cannot read when the pipe is just flushed on the writing side.
