Subject: Threads + pipes = bad?

Hi all 

I'm getting some problems with my use of a pipe within a thread in a
program I'm writing. Platform is Solaris 8.

Anyway, here's an example of a function I've called from within the
thread:

(define (email message)
  (let* ((address (assoc-ref message 'address))
         (message-text (assoc-ref message 'text))
         (mail-pipe (open-output-pipe (string-append "mailx -s \'" 
                                                     subject "\' "
				                     address)))
   (display message-text mail-pipe)
   (close-pipe))) 


And here's the errors I get:

In thread:
ERROR: In procedure dup2:
ERROR: Bad file number

and 

In thread:
ERROR: In procedure waitpid:
ERROR: No child processes


Can anyone shed some light on what's happening here? Is there contention
for file descriptors or something?

TIA
