Using PostgreSQL 8.4.13 on ScientificLinux 6.3 (x86_64), I noticed
that a pg_dump ran out of (local) disk space.
However, the server was still using CPU and disk resources.  An strace
clearly showed this pattern:

read(....) = 8192
sendto(...) = -1 EPIPE
-- SIGPIPE (Broken pipe) @ ....

The server does detect the broken pipe. It logs the following messages:

637 LOG:  08006: could not send data to client: Connection reset by peer
638 LOCATION:  internal_flush, pqcomm.c:1108
639 STATEMENT:  COPY ... to stdout;
640 LOG:  08006: could not send data to client: Broken pipe
641 LOCATION:  internal_flush, pqcomm.c:1108
642 STATEMENT:  COPY ... to stdout;

This was fixed in version 9.2. Per release notes:

    Cancel the running query if the client gets disconnected (Florian Pflug)

    If the backend detects loss of client connection during a query, it will 
now cancel the query rather than attempting to finish it.

COPY counts as a "running query".
