Ooops, I didn't notice miniroot is actually defined to true.  Now that
I look deeper that also answers my comment about the duplicate signal
setup in main - one it's done for the miniroot case, and once for the
!miniroot case.

Now that we uses EPIPE instead of SIGPIPE is there actually any good
reason to do this setup in two different places?
