Sorry to be suspicious about NEW_PIPE.

When I scp'ed relatively large files between host A and B (either or both
of which is NEW_PIPE'ed), sometimes (randomly) file corruption occurred.
Up to now, the problem is restricted to scp. ftp seems OK.

I've not yet tried sys/kern/sys_pipe.c revision 1.15 or later, so the
problem might be a known one and already fixed.

(When I tried the earlier revisions of NEW_PIPE, the corruption occurred
more frequently.)
