Hmm, on which OS? And are you talking of traditonal pipes created with pipe(), or about socket pairs? That the non-blocking flag would not be local to a socket end point sounds quite bizarre.

As an example, you cannot set pipes to nonblocking mode without also causing the remote end to switch to nonblocking operation.
