Thanks for you great analysis, and while I haven't exatcly followed it yet,
it looks correct. I'll see how it can be fixed (most likely, by not
recreeating the pipe in this case atg all).
I do hope its rare, as this is essentially an epoll bug workaround, which is
extremely costly.
One question though: is there a specific reason why you go against the
recommendation to ignore SIGPIPE? SIGPIPE is essentially for shell filters
only.

Fortunately no, because events can get lost normally under this condition,
so libev already assumes there might have been an event and checks.
So ignoring SIGPIPE should work reliably as a workaround.
