I'd be happy if we just ignored SIGPIPE everywhere, but turned it on for
the log family.
Hmmmm, now you confused me...  What is special about the log family?  Do
you mean "when we use pager"?  But then we are writing into the pager,
which the user can make it exit, which in turn causes us to write into the
pipe, so I would expect that we would want to ignore SIGPIPE --- ah, then
we explicitly catch error in xwrite() and say die() which we do not want.

So you want to let SIGPIPE silently kill us when the pager is in use; is
that it?
