Hi Steve!
So far, we have no answer to this one. We are running 5.1.2beta with at
least one 'PIPE -close' entry in pqact.conf with no problem, so we're pretty
confident it does work.
I'm wondering about your environment. Did you build a new queue? The data
structures are different in this version, so the old queue won't work. Let
me know - if this isn't it I'll try some other things.
