In addition to this, which may seem fairly minor, ARP Copy also doesn't
work with files written to PIPE:.  Apparently, it has a test inside like
if (input-file-size < my-buffer-size)
    copy input-file-size bytes from input to output

Since the input-file-size returned by PIPE: is always 4096, ARP Copy
copies the first 4096 bytes from a PIPE: file and quits.
