It's required to close the write-end of the pipe also in the parent  
process. The child process inherits the write-end and closes it. But it  
really closes only a copy. Once the file_descriptor_sink initialized with  
close_handle goes out of the scope, the write-end in the parent process is  
closed, too.

HTH,
