Sorry. My stupid. I understand it as head ignores not only
SIGPIPE but SIGSEV and any error exit status of the calling
program. I tried head with a program ends with SEGV and saw that
head ignores it.
$ ./t
line 1
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ ./t | head -5 # SEGV before head closes the pipe
line 1
$
This is more tolerant than what I proposed before. (I think it is
too-much tolerant for us).

Ah. Understood. Thanks. (Ruby's flush donesn't work for pipes..)

I saw the same failure. Ruby handles SIGPIPE and converts it to
exit(1). It cannot be handled by just ignoring SIGPIPE.
Ruby seems to be a friend of my second patch:p
