Is there?

My understanding is that the SIGPIPE is generated within the write()
call, and it is noticed and delivered in the syscall exit codepath.  If
so, the signal-generating write should never return as far as userland
is concerned.

The ktrace log quoted upthread shows the syscall returning

>>   3406   3406 make-2025.02.24. CALL  write(1,0x70addd3fda00,0x1f)
>>   3406   3406 make-2025.02.24. RET   write -1 errno 32 Broken pipe
>>   3406   3406 make-2025.02.24. PSIG  SIGPIPE SIG_DFL: code=SI_NOINFO

but this is meaningless; ktrace /bin/sh -c 'kill -KILL $$' also shows
kill(2) returning - presumably the ktrace record is written before the
syscall exit path tears down the process due to the signal.
