This problem isn't necessarily intuitive, but can be solved by looking at how shells handle pipelines: they exec the last things in the pipe first. Unlike human society, unix/linux/posix speakers (writers) suffer a horrible fate if they speak when there are no listeners (readers) unless, of course, the speakers (writers) are using tape delay (writing to disk).
Don't you just love metaphors? :D
