Something got puckered, not sure if it's fixed yet in CVS, but it has
something to do with the README.ipc thingy.  Anyway,

#! /bin/sh
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ; do 
	mkfifo -m 0666 "fifo.""$i""a"
	mkfifo -m 0666 "fifo.""$i""b"
done

If you don't have mkfifo, use 'mknod -m 0666 "fifo.""$i""a" p'

You could also try running ./configure --with-fifo explicitly...
