Hi Jason,
I have not heard of any problems with PIPE under RedHat 7.2.
If you can't PIPE the product through 'cat', then I'm wondering about
your environment. Are you running as user 'ldm'? What is PATH set to?
To debug, you could FILE the product then run the executable from the
command line. And/or you could put pqact in verbose or debug mode to
get more information. (Send it a USR2 signal to cycle through the
various stages of verbosity.) Sometimes running pqact from the command
line can be informative.
