terminate. But since you didn't call $pipe->autoflush the child won't
actually try to write to the pipe until the buffer (4kB on Linux, 8kB on
most other unixes) is full - that will be after about 75 or 150 lines,
respectively.

That's what I'd messed up, line oriented at surface while buffered in
depth. Thanks, now I feel much better.
