Reading/writing from named pipes under mono/Linux

I would like to read/write from a named pipe/FIFo queue under Linux. I have tried the standard classes StreamWriter and other classes from System.IO, but it fails because it is using seek. Has anyone ever written/read from a named pipe using Mono?. I am managing to read and write - but not the same time...

You'll need to open separate readers and writers; for some reason, Mono treats FIFOs as if they are seekable (it's a bug), even though they aren't.
