From: IlyaK on 3 Mar 2010 02:03 The write end of the pipe gets closed at the end. Is there a problem with it open? All that handle duplication came from the Microsoft's example. I didn't invent it. If there is a better way, I'll be happy to use it.

At the very least you need to read the comments in the example, including the ones that you didn't copy. Now that I know that you copied this from an example in a MSKB article, I know what to look for, and I find that the example actually warns about the error that you are making.
