Description

When the output of logmerge is being piped to more (or similar reader), and the pipe buffer fills before the merge is complete, and the user quits from more or otherwise terminates the pipeline, logmerge crashes with a Broken Pipe exception. logmerge should silently eat that exception and simply exit(0).
