SIGPIPE echoing to fifo exits zsh

[Christian Neukirchen <chneukirchen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I noticed this thing:

shell1% mkfifo /tmp/fifo
shell1% while :; do head -1 /tmp/fifo; done

shell2% gdb zsh
(gdb) r -f
juno% repeat 1000 echo a >/tmp/fifo

Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.

Using /bin/echo (coreutils 8.20), the code works flawlessy (all lines
get through the FIFO).

Thanks,
