Re: How to get bash to shut up about SIGPIPE?

I reported:

quoted

One approach is to install a trap for SIGPIPE in
non-terminating command in a pipeline where the
later items might not process all the data, e.g.:
  (trap {} SIGPIPE; find .) | head -1

Both the versions of bash that I looked at (2.05 and 3.0) _still_

What bash do you have that this trap silences?

Actually, I have a working bash, so I can't test any of
these work-arounds.  I was merely foolish enough to quote
the Debian discussion, where someone reported that as a
work-around. I had hopes that it would help.
That'll teach me to pay attention to documentation :-).

I wonder, does a top-level trap work? E.g.:
  trap "" SIGPIPE

Anyone, good luck to those with broken bashes...
