Strange behaviours.

If I replace INPUT OUTPUT by READ WRITE, the process does not write to its 
standard output anymore.

But if I replace the "tr" program by "cat", then READ WRITE works as expected.

So there is something different in "tr" that prevents him to work with the 
READ WRITE options.

Moreover, sometimes the first write to the "tr" process fails (with a bad file 
descriptor error message).

All that needs some investigation...
