Comment 1 -M 2002-10-01 03:47:32 EDT

Moving on to 8.0 release.

Comment 2 Adrian Likins 2002-10-01 17:47:55 EDT

Hmm.

The pipe it is talking is broken by the 'q'.

Probabaly shouldnt traceback of course. I'll
take a look at catching this error and existing
gracefully.

Comment 3 Adrian Likins 2003-01-20 23:30:34 EST

should be fixed (at least, the traceback is gone) on version 3.1.4 or
higher.

Comment 4 Matt Jamison 2003-05-20 10:52:10 EDT

still getting broken pipe error:

./wrapper.py --showall | less
There was some sort of I/O error: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
version: 3.1.25 1
