Hey guys, the ethereal manpage seems to indicate that ethereal supports
named pipes.  However, when I try to use ethereal with a named pipe:

ethereal -i <pipe> -kl

...ethereal immediately pops up a dialog:

"The file '<pipename>' is a pipe or FIFO; Ethreal cannot read pipe or FIFO
files."

This is version 0.9.10 on Linux.

So what's the story?
