Hi Andrew,

Out of curiosity, how does that pipe/pty implementation fall short for 
eCos? I've been thinking of using it to get a select()-able file 
descriptor for inter-thread communication.

Are there improvements that could be made to make it fit into eCos 
better? I'd be willing to give it a try. Otherwise I'll just use my 
version quietly.
