But try this: Remove the signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN)
and run the test suite. There is not a single failure.

That's not what I'm seeing. When I don't ignore the signal, the testsuite 
fails intermittently for me (on Linux). I see the following tests fail:

- t3409-rebase-preserve-merges.sh (subtest #2)
- t5503-tagfollow.sh (subtests #4, #6, #7)
- t5505-remote.sh (subtests #10, #12, #14 - #20, #27)
- t5510-fetch.sh (subtest #6 or #25)

I see. If I insert sched_yield() in the for loop, I see many failures (not
100% reproducible, but almost). On Windows, I have to insert Sleep(10) so
that the error exit is taken, and the error code is EINVAL :-/
