Note SIGPIPE may not be supported, so I'd also suggest a guard like:

(trap '' PIPE && yes | :) 2>&1 | grep -qF 'Broken pipe' ||
  skip_ 'trapping SIGPIPE is not supported'

cheers,
Pádraig.

p.s. For my own reference, programs that fail on EPIPE preclude
themselves for use with 'pipefail' setting in bash for example.
Though changing only coreutils to fail on EPIPE would be inconsistent.
