This is working as documented.  The very first call to DosCreateNPipe()
defines how many other pipes with that name can be created -- even if they
are created by other processes.

If you want to prevent a 2nd copy of your program from running (or using
the same name),  use some other named mechanism that does not allow the
name to be reused (sem, shared mem) before the call to DosCreateNPIpe().
