Ok, from 2.5.2 -> 2.5.3pre1:

        signal(SIGINT,SIGNAL_CAST sig_int);
-       signal(SIGPIPE,SIGNAL_CAST sig_int);
        signal(SIGHUP,SIGNAL_CAST sig_int);
        signal(SIGTERM,SIGNAL_CAST sig_int);
 
+       /* Ignore SIGPIPE; we consistently check error codes and will
+        * see the EPIPE. */
+       signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN);

So mainline does the same thing nowadays (the "consistently check error
codes and will see the EPIPE" was something I propably didn't do, anyway).
