GNU emacs 20 was capable of reading from this, 21 is not. The change
appears to be the introduction of the new read_non_regular function
in fileio.c : a strace shows emacs fetching the data from the file
( you can see the data being read ), and then aborting. Presumably
the state of a fifo is sufficiently different from a non-regular file
that read_non_regular reacts as if an error has occurred.
Could you step through it and see why this happens?
The code looks straightforward, so I don't see why it would fail.
