On this same platform, there is also a test failure:


FAIL: tests/misc/seq-epipe
==========================

diff: code: No such file or directory
seq emitted incorrect error on EPIPE
seq: write error: Broken pipe
FAIL tests/misc/seq-epipe.sh (exit status: 1)


Here it's the command
  timeout 10 sh -c 'trap "" PIPE && { seq inf 2>err; echo $? >code; } | head 
-n1' >out
which does not always behave as expected:

$ for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19; do timeout 10 sh 
-c 'rm -f code; trap "" PIPE && { seq inf 2>err; echo $? >code; } | head -n1' 
>out; ls -l code; done

Whereas, again, with 'bash' instead of 'sh', it's all right.
