Version 5.2.1 (from CentOS 4.1):
When the output from "tee" is piped to "head" (or presumably any other
program that does not read all of stdin), tee gives "broken pipe" and
"write error" error messages.
While that may be perhaps technically true, it was unexpected.
Of course piping stderr to /dev/null gets rid of the messages. You
might consider an option to suppress the messages in this case, while
allowing other messages.
Sincerely, Dean
