And this is the second one.

While preparing these, I noticed a handful of system calls whose
return values are not checked in the codepaths involved.  We should
clean them up, but I left them out of these two patches, as they are

We are explicitly ignoring SIGPIPE, as we fully expect that the
filter program may not read our output fully.  Ignore EPIPE that
may come from writing to it as well.
