This looks more like the absence of SIGPIPE than an inappropriate
SIGPIPE. I can reproduce both of those error messages by running the
commands with SIGPIPE ignored. grep(1) seems to behave strangely on
write errors, not aborting, for example
yes | { trap '' PIPE; grep -v foo; echo $? >&2; } | :
prints an endless stream of error messages.
Note that sh(1) silently ignores attempts to change the disposition of
signals that were ignored on entry to the shell, so a
trap - PIPE
is unlikely to help you.
Similarly, SIGPIPE may be blocked (masked). Few programs expect this.
The -i and -j options in procstat should be helpful in finding what
exactly is wrong with SIGPIPE. (These options are relatively new, but
should be in 8.1.)
