Ah ... right, sorry.

the results I get when adding SIGPIPE handlers into the picture are even more 
interesting.

There seems to be a workaround using Process Substitution (which we recently 
discussed). This construct seems to work (always?):

    while ...; do
        ...
    done < <(...)

This would badly mess up the code though.
