Issuing the following command:
trap "" SIGPIPE
will ignore SIGPIPE in the shell and all subsequent programs started
from it. It will achieve exactly the result of this patch, in a much
cleaner way, without impacting others users.

No, I cannot. I only know they exist, because signals on Unix are like
that. In this instance, I consider the burden of the proof to be on the
person who proposes the patch.
Still, there is always the fact that it changes the behaviour in a
significant way, possibly resulting in process running indefinitely
where they were stopping previously.
