I think the issue is that balsa does a stat() on the named pipe, which
will report 0, or at least some very wrong size. But if you open up the
file and just read bytes until EOF, without the stat(), you'll get what
you want. This would mean that you have to have a little realloc() loop
for your buffer, though,which the stat() call is supposed to make
superfluous.
