Question: FIFO in Unix System V

[TAYBENGH%NUSDISCS.BITNET at cunyvm.cuny.edu]

        Hi! Has anybody used fifo in Unix System V before? After I do some
testing on fifo in Unix, I has a question here:

        A fifo is open for read and write by two processes respectively, and
        the read can catch up with the write, will the fifo run out of space
        (i.e. reaching the file limit (ulmit)) if the read and write is done
        infinitely?

        Any helps is very much appreciated.
