Replying to [comment:6 simonmar]:
> Perhaps we should only exit silenty if the EPIPE was received for
`stdin` or `stdout`? One problem we had with the silent `SIGPIPE` was
that it happened for closed sockets, which confused people regularly.
Sounds reasonable to me. It's only stdout that matters - only writing to
"broken" pipes results in EPIPE. Reading results in a normal EOF.
