I had seen that FAQ, but the randomness and uneven behavior of this
across the various distributions had me pretty thrown as to its
applicability in this case.

Tests on a RHEL3 AS server shows the same results.

A report filed with Red Hat's Bugzilla has been worked, ticket is at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=128274

Basically comes down to "rebuild with DONT_REPORT_SIGPIPE," which they
claim will be done in "future releases."
