Works the same for me with either pipe or socket connection. I think
something must be broken on your platform --- what platform are you
using, anyway?

The two obvious questions about this are (a) what is errno 32 on
your system and (b) why is your strerror() yielding garbage instead
of an appropriate error message?

On my system errno 32 is EPIPE, but surely read() should never
return EPIPE.
