There have been various automated robot testsuite runners (such as Jenkins at one point in the past, although I don't know if it is still the case) that do the equivalent of 'trap - PIPE' in their master shell; then the rules of POSIX say that 'sh' can't do anything to undo that setting (it's very annoying - inheriting ignored SIGPIPE is impossible to undo in straight shell, and requires an intermediary C program). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
