I have been using this alias: lt = 'ls -lt | head'
for a long long time, on many systems.
On Fedora 7 I get this from time to time:
cd /usr/lib
lt

ls: write error: Broken pipe
Is there any reason for this error to be printed?
The strange thing is that I don't always get this error, I could run
"lt" and not see the error, then run it again and see it.
I am using: coreutils-6.9-3.fc7
Thanks
