EPIPE means the reader got closed or died somehow. EPIPE is uncommon
in normal use, but it is fatal and not possible to recover from (unlike
EAGAIN).
kgio already skips the expensive backtrace generation for
EPIPE/ECONNRESET since there's nothing the programmer can do about it in
non-buggy code, though. (An attacker can trigger EPIPE/ECONNRESET,
though, so this adds a _small_ amount of DoS protection)
