Thank you Shea,

with a little change, adding "sleep 0.1" makes it hang early in all (few)
linuces I tried: Let me know if this helps you reproduce the problem.

As before, hangs under strace, does not hang under 'strace -f'. Sorry if I'm
misunderstanding something.

New script:
----------
#!/bin/sh
                                                                                                                   
PIPE=/tmp/pipe
                                                                                                                   
rm -f $PIPE
mkfifo $PIPE
set -x
                                                                                                                   
spawn() {
    sleep 0.1
    echo DONE > $PIPE
}

spawn &

while true; do
    while read LINE < $PIPE; do
        echo $LINE
        spawn &
    done
done
-----------

Lluís.
