If I were to write a program that relied on "writing to a file might terminate me and that's exactly what I want" behaviour, then yeah, I absolutely would include a call to "signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_DFL)" in the main(). Of course, if I were to actually write a filter-like program (a la cat, head, grep, etc.), I would rather have just checked the return values of my write()s. It's -1? Time to call exit(errno).
