I don't think WaitForSingleObject and WaitForMultipleObjects will work 
on a named pipe. The documentation for these functions doesn't list 
these as waitable objects. It certainly doesn't work at present; I tried 
WaitForSingleObject on the handle and it always returns immediately 
without waiting.

I've read on forums that you might be able to get it to work by opening 
the named pipe on the client side with the SYNCHRONIZE flag, but I'm not 
sure if this actually works. I believe the *correct* (but painful) way 
is to use overlapped IO and get an event object which can then be waited on.
