[Serusers] serweb and fifo

[Jiri Kuthan]

looking at functions.php makes me think that possible reasons
include failure to create a reply fifo in tmp directory, 
opening it for reading or reading from it. (serweb creates
a temporary reply fifo over which SER tells back about completion
status of original serweb's FIFO request). 

I don't know though, why that happens. Sending your server's log 
might make  the problem clearer.
