Even faster: what's coming across that wire should be a constant (is?), variable is only delivery/consumption jitter. If there's really really a pipe problem lurking, you should also be able to trigger by saving the data once, and just catting it, letting interrupts etc provide jitter. Which stdout is left of '|' in a script shouldn't matter one whit to the interpreter/kernel conversation, they're all the same. That said, if I had a reproducer I was confident pointed to the kernel, I'd try to bisect.. boring as hell, but highly effective. -Mike
