zsh seems to try to read named pipes as directories when globbing into
directories. Here's an example:
% echo $ZSH_VERSION ~/test 2:03pm envy
2.6-beta8
% uname -a ~/test 2:04pm envy
HP-UX envy A.09.01 A 9000/735 2010594854 two-user license
% mkdir test ~ 1:59pm envy
% cd test ~ 1:59pm envy
% mkdir dir1 dir2 ~/test 2:06pm envy
% touch dir1/a dir1/b dir2/a dir2/b ~/test 2:07pm envy
% echo */* ~/test 2:07pm envy
dir1/a dir1/b dir2/a dir2/b
% mkfifo pipe ~/test 2:07pm envy
% ls -l ~/test 2:07pm envy
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 sethml users 1024 May 21 14:07 dir1/
drwxr-xr-x 2 sethml users 1024 May 21 14:07 dir2/
prw-r--r-- 1 sethml users 0 May 21 14:07 pipe|
% echo */* ~/test 2:07pm envy
[ The shell freezes. ]^C
% echo */* ~/test 2:07pm envy 1
[ The shell freezes. In another shell:
% cd
% mkdir test2
% touch test2/foo test2/bar test/baz
% cat test2 > test/pipe ]
dir1/a dir1/b dir2/a dir2/b
% ~/test 2:09pm envy
