I've checked in a potential fix for this problem, without testing it. It
works by avoiding recreation of the signal. It should (reliably) take care
of your specific problem.

However, we thought long and hard and didn't find a general solution to
this problem (it's possible to solve in userspace, but we likely would
trigger a race condition in the kernel), so we also had to put additional
limitations on forking and reusing loops in general - basically,
ignoring SIGPIPE is now a hard requirement if you want to reuse loops in the
child.

Depending on your application, this is probably trivial to satisfy becaue you
don't reuse loops in the child.
