currently fifos are being created by the reader program -- this could create weird situations if a writer opens first and tries to open the (nonexistent) pipe. depending on how the writer is set up, it would either fail (not good) or create a normal file (also, not good)
consider creating all fifos at once before starting any programs. could be done with mkfifo and the init system
