Worse, POSIX explicitly requires that the shell is unable to reset
SIGPIPE back to SIG_DFL if it was inherited ignored (try it - you CANNOT
use the 'trap' command to undo an inherited ignored SIGPIPE, even though
it can be used to undo signals ignored locally). It is generally
considered bad practice to leak ignored SIGPIPE into a child process,
even if it makes sense in the parent process.
