Hello Bernhard, Pádraig, Attached an updated patch based on your comments and suggestions. One difference from previous patch: 'seq' will not silently ignore EPIPE (if SIGPIPE is ignored by default), and will exit with 'broken pipe' message. I split the tests into two: one with /dev/full (skipped unless /dev/full exists), the other forcing a broken pipe (which can be tested anywhere).
comments welcomed, thanks, - assaf
