You're creating one pipe.

You're piping the output of daVinci into its own input.

You're competing with daVinci on reading its output

I guess it does the same here, but it reads back the "ok" before you
do, then it waits for some more input.


If you want to send some input to daVinci AND get back its output, you
will need to create two pipes.
