>Description:
OpenSSH results in broken pipes when pipe is terminated prematurely or properly.  This does not harm functionality, but is very, VERY irritating.

This problem was also mentioned on the FreeBSD mailing list at the following URL:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=60124+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/freebsd-questions/20010128.freebsd-questions
>How-To-Repeat:
$ yes > x
(wait 5-6 seconds)
^C
$ grep 'y' x | less
(hit 'q' after prompted)
grep: writing output: Broken pipe
(..repeat thousands of times...)
>Fix:
OpenSSH maintainers are aware of this problem, but did not seem to
care enough to fix the problem with 2.3.0.  Odd.

Patch (official?) is provided at the following URL:
