$ while (true); do date; done | uniq -c

Doing a CTRL-C takes me to:

      8 Fri Oct 29 17:20:44 WEDT 2010
datedate: write errordate: write error: Broken pipe
datedate: write error: date: write error: Broken pipe
date: write error: date: write error: Broken pipe
datedate: write error: Broken pipedate: write error: date: write error:
Broken pipedate: write error: Broken pipe
date: write error: Broken pipe

and yes I disabled AV.

Ideas ???
