Maybe I need to do something to the close() call as well? What happens
on close() after EPIPE?

Does anybody with Windows/MSYS experience know how this scenario (write() to
a terminated process, followed by close()) would play out in msysGit?

It fails with ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE. See MSDN for WriteFile:

 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365747%28VS.85%29.aspx

(look for the error above).

Well, sometimes it just fails, so you can hardly use the error code to detect
if the other process is truly gone or something broke in Windows.
