+A content filter used to be a way to make the recorded contents "more

262

263
+A few test in t0021 use 'false' as the filter, which can exit without
264
+reading any byte from us, before we start writing and causes us to die
265
+with SIGPIPE, leading to intermittent test failure. I think treating this
266
+as a failure of running the filter (the end user's filter should read what
267
+is fed in full, produce its output and write the result back to us) is the
268
+right thing to do, so this patch needs update the surrounding code to
269
+handle such a situation better, probably by using sigchain_push(SIGPIPE)
270
