Maybe we can avoid them if we stop having buggy code :P

Most worrying was the the bug fixed in 4/5; but at least there
wasn't data loss involved...
While the bug fixed in 4/5 didn't cause data loss, it was
dumping core files and filling up my disk while polluting the
kernel log buffer.
Eric Wong (5):
lei: do not access {sock} after SIGPIPE
lei_to_mail: limit workers for text, reply and v2 outputs
lei_xsearch: quiet error message on SIG{PIPE,TERM}
lei_to_mail: avoid SEGV on worker exit via SIGTERM
