It's just that all sane distributions will change the default. Sounds like debian forgot to do that when upgrading to bash-3.1. The magic incantation is hidden in the bash FAQ (E2): You can build a version of bash that will not report SIGPIPE errors by uncommenting the definition of DONT_REPORT_SIGPIPE in the file config-top.h. and I still don't understand why it's not the default. Oh, well. Linus
