    Semaphore timeout while using pipes?

    I'm using named pipes two communicate between two processes on the same computer. Quite frequently (and randomly), however, a ConnectNamedPipe() operation fails and GetLastError() returns 121, which according to MSDN is due to a semaphore timeout. Can someone explain what pipes have to do with semaphores and why I could be getting this error?

    EDIT: Sorry, I made a mistake. It is CreateFile(), not ConnectNamedPipe(), that produces the error.
