If the client (curl plugin) disconnects early then the whole test can
fail with SIGPIPE, and it can be unclear why the test failed -- you
just get the mysterious error "FAIL test (exit status: 141)". We
always check the return code from write(2) so just report EPIPE
failures through that.
In addition, a future extension to this test will allow writes to fail
with EPIPE in some circumstances.
