FastCGI + fork

Hi there,

I rewrote FastCGI’s echo_cpp.cpp example to ridirect another process
e.g. ls output DIRECTLY (to achieve high performance) to client but
unfortunately does not work as expected!

P.S. if I simply read the pipe I get output but I lost performance. So,
I need to directly redirect the output to client without any copying
streams!

P.S. if I replace fork saffs with just a simple cout<<, I can see the
output.

Anyone has any idea about how to correct it? I worked so hard with no
success.
