I'm using DosPeekNPipe() to determine when a process has died.  It seems
to work (that is, to return ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE) when the pipe in question
is remote (that is, when the 2 ends are on different machines connected
over LAN Server).

When the pipe is local, 0 is returned.

Anyone know why?  Is there a better way to determine if a process,
remote or local, has died?

Thanks...
- Keith
