	I've been trying to trace why my pipe: device seems to fail at times
and have come up with only one possible solution. 

	What seems to be happenning is that if pipe: has never been 
referenced before, and then gets referenced by two different processes
at the same time:

(A) DOS gets confused and attempts to load pipe.device from memory twice
				OR
(B) DOS gets confused and runs the two pipe: requests as two separate
processes (thus they are distinct and never link up).


	My question to C-A: Is it possible that there is a time-window 
somewhere where this is possible?  I definately set the task field in the
device node BEFORE I return the startup message.
