Pipe larger than available memory

[Mark Blunier <blunier@ocslink.com>]

I want to pipe the output from mkisofs into cdrecord, so that
I don't have to have 600 mb of temp space available.  However,
I only have 64 meg of memory, and the file created by mkisofs
could be 600+ mb.  How does Linux handle it?  Will it work OK?
Will it run out of memory and crash mkisofs?  Will it crash
the system in general?

Thanks
Mark Blunier
