Comment (by simonmar):
We intentionally don't do anything about `SIGPIPE`, in order to follow the
POSIX semantics where `SIGPIPE` terminates the program by default. It's
definitely true that this behaviour can be surprising, and I have a lot
of sympathy with that. However, to ignore `SIGPIPE` by default would be a
deviation from POSIX, and might therefore surprise some users - if we
"fixed" this, I can imagine someone complaining that we were taking
liberties with the spec.
My inclination is to leave things as they are, but I'm prepared to be
persuaded otherwise.
