Ethereal's opening the pipe in non-blocking mode, but it's not turning non-blocking mode off on the pipe once that completes, so if it tries reading from the pipe before something opens the pipe for writing, it'll get an EOF and assume that there's nothing more to read.

...although turning the flag off doesn't seem to fix the problem.
