Hi Bruno, Thanks for the patch, but I'm reluctant to use it in part because it covers only the write syscalls deriving from tee's explicit fwrite call. It does not handle an EPIPE failure that comes of a close_stdout-induced write syscall, so you'd still get the offending diagnostics some of the time. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
