Subject: tests: improve recent seq EPIPE test
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Follow-up to commit c92585b1: improve epipe test script, with
suggestions from Bernhard Voelker and Pádraig Brady.
see: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2016-04/msg00067.html .

* tests/misc/seq-epipe.sh: Avoid too many subshells,
  stricter validation of errors and output from seq,
  skip if trapping SIGPIPE is not supported.
