I don't believe that its a POSIX requirement, but under Linux (and I
think BSD) because of the ways signals are delievered, you will always
get the SIGPIPE signal before EPIPE is returned.

I'm guessing that most Linux apps would assume this, so would be a bit
surprised if it didn't occur. That being said I think most apps just
ignore SIGPIPE.
