On the Ubuntu PPA builders, I’m seeing this new test fail with SIGPIPE 
about half the time:

died of signal 13 at /build/buildd/git-1.9~rc1/t/test-terminal.perl line 33.
not ok 6 - LESS and LV envvars are set for pagination

Although the test seems to work locally for me, I can reproduce a 
similar failure just by running

$ GIT_PAGER='env >pager-env.out' ./test-terminal.perl git log
died of signal 13 at ./test-terminal.perl line 33.
