	I don't think so! Whatever was sent in the FIFO is most probably already 
out of it. The process reading from the pipe may get an error (SIGPIPE or 
something similar), but it will have had its chances to act upon whatever 
garbage it received!

I agree with Mark's comment on this: send some explanatory message or error 
code that is sufficiently documented and unique.
