like the shell wildcards, is handled by bash

Homework: Try ``echo *'' and try to understand why.

The only case where < would not work is if the called software does
seek()s. If you use |, there is the added restriction that any
program assuming he can do greater than PIPE_SIZE I/O while using the
system read()/write() will not work. PIPE_SIZE is 4096 bytes.
stdio handles that transparently.

But on Linux, it's quite CPU intensive. Some UNIX systems implements
pipes through memory mapping. For example, on Solaris,

   cat < /dev/null | cat > /dev/zero

creates two cat processes, but then no byte are exchanged, just
MMU tables are shuffled around.

Ah, ok, so the problem was indeed apsfilter. You see, you can even
teach me things :)
