Subject: sort: fix SIGPIPE handling
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6382388da8268b964eb27845c50969c7ac03e4de;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

sort: fix SIGPIPE handling

* src/sort.c (main): Don't override handler for SIGPIPE
(which we did since commit v9.9-34-ge63131b32),
since we've explicit handling for SIGPIPE.
Also move ignoring of SIGPIPE until after
--help and --version are processed.
