>Summary: subprocess doesn\'t handle SIGPIPE

Initial Comment:
subprocess keeps other side of child pipe open, making
use of SIGPIPE to terminate writers in a pipeline
not possible.

This is probably a matter of documentation or
providing a method to link up processes, as 
the parent end of the pipe must remain open
until it is connected to the next process in
the pipeline.

An option to enable sigpipe in child would be
nice.

Simple example attached.
