Xmonad freeze from full pipe

Question

Hi Everyone,
I've been experiencing periodic lockups after longer periods of use in XMonad and have found the problem to be directly related to this issue: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmon … _frozen.21
The project issue page for this problem is quite old https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=91 however the issue is still present (at least on my machine here).
I've solved the issue for myself by kicking a script off that dumps the content of the full pipe to /dev/null when xmonad starts, but - is this really a solution though? Am I breaking something else by sending the content in this pipe out?
Cheers.

Do you know which version of iMovie you are using. If not, I'll try to describe it based on iMovie '11 and you can see if your controls look the same.
In the Project Browser on the still image where you have Ken Burns enabled (it will be disabled on the preceeding still image) There will be a little Gear icon on the image that you can click that will bring up a contextual menu, like this:
Choose Cropping, Ken Burns & Rotation. You will now get an editor window in the Preview area that allows you to set the Ken Burns effect using a Green rectangle and a Red Rectangle. Click on the Green border to select it and pull the edges all the way out to the corners of the image. Now move the Red rectangle first by click the red border. Reposition it and pull the corners in to the point where you want the picture to be magnified. Then in the upper right hand corner of the Preview window click the Blue button labeled Done.
