You have been subscribed to a public bug:

dpigs produces its output, then shows an error:

    sort: write failed: 'standard output': Broken pipe

dpigs end with a 'sort | head' pipeline. This error is due to sort's new
behaviour in rust-coreutils when being passed into a pipe that's closed
mid-write, which is exactly what head does.

Minimally, this is reproducible with:

    $ echo 1 | sort | head -n0
    sort: write failed: 'standard output': Broken pipe

This is either a latent bug in dpigs or a regression in rust-coreutils.
