(In reply to comment #1) > Same problem here but also without piping. Different bug, you want bug #161995 which is fixed in Subversion and has a patch attached to the bug.
Created attachment 116630 [details, diff] Encloses sys.*.write() call in a try: except IOError: Could this be a solution?
Can't reproduce this bug in the current gentoolkit, closing.
