Although the parent indeed should not ignore SIGPIPE because of the trouble that 
causes, it would also be helpful for localedef to set the SIGPIPE handler to 
SIG_DFL in its subprocess that is intended to produce output to a pipe that 
localedef may not entirely drain. This sort of thing is common in GNU 
applications, and it wouldn't be unreasonable for localedef to do the same.
