But actually I meant you to make a test that triggers the SIGPIPE that

AFAIU from earlier in this thread (and a mail from Peter linking to 
http://markmail.org/message/dbgdj4csafen65ye), SIGPIPE _never_ triggers on 
Windows, thus ignoring SIGPIPE is not needed for the fix per se. However, as 
a side-effect of the fix, we may now get SIGPIPE on Linux (and other POSIX 
platforms), so although it never triggers on Windows, it's still needed.
