Apparently it's Eterm's fault.
Sorry for spamming the list with an eterm problem..
Anyway, I have confirmed it to be exactly that, by writing a small
wrapper:
sigpipewrapper.c
----------------
#include <signal.h>
main (int argc,char **argv) {
if (argc < 2) {
printf("Usage: %s '<command>'\n",argv[0]);
}
signal(SIGPIPE,SIG_DFL);
system(argv[1]);
}
---------------
It's far from clear to me why it effects some Eterms and not others, but I
shall check the Eterm source and file an appropriate bug upstream.
