good point. If it was normal file, for sure it's a bug, but trace_pipe
is a pseudo file and I think read cannot return -1. Regardless, it makes
sense to fix it. Will do. Do you mind I address it as follow up patch?
Or if the rest is ok, can you change the condition to sz>0 while
applying? I can respin the whole thing too, if you like.
Thanks!
