I am trying to pipe roughly 1 MB of data into a program on Linux; I know it can handle the load, because I have tested it with by cat-ing a script and the data. I do not yet promise that my Pharo code is correct; if the program did not respond or returned junk, I would look to myself. But I am getting errors suggesting that AttachableFileStream is failing on writing to the pipe, and it's very suspicious that it simply can't handle the size of the string. Any ideas?

Try googling "maximum size of write to linux pipe". Unix pipes have a capacity limit, and the write will fail if you try to write too large a chunk all at once. Dave
