If it's any comfort, I just noticed that Openssh 2.3.0 installed on an Irix system does the same thing, so at least it's not something FreeBSD did to it. I agree that the openssh behavior should be changed, but luckily the error message is likely to be just cosmetic unless the pipe writer does something destructive on EPIPE.
