Bug Description

To replicate this bug do:
1. Open two terminals.
2. on the first terminal: $ mkfifo fifo
3. on the first terminal: $ tail -f fifo
4. on the second terminal write several times: $ echo "somestring" > fifo , changing somestring each time.

Some of the strings sometimes will not appear in 'tail'.
Unfortunately this bug is not deterministic.

It happened in Gutsy x86 and I couldn't replicate in in Feisty.
