AFAIU from earlier in this thread (and a mail from Peter linking to http://markmail.org/message/dbgdj4csafen65ye), SIGPIPE _never_ triggers on Windows, thus ignoring SIGPIPE is not needed for the fix per se. However, as a side-effect of the fix, we may now get SIGPIPE on Linux (and other POSIX platforms), so although it never triggers on Windows, it's still needed.
