Random "Broken Pipe"

[Marcelo E. Magallón <mmagallo@efis.ucr.ac.cr>]

I get this:

[79 jacinta:~] while true ; do echo -n . ; /usr/sbin/update-alternatives
--display WindowMaker | grep -q 'WindowMaker-newstyle' ; done
.....Broken pipe
..Broken pipe
..Broken pipe
...Broken pipe
..^C

do you see a problem with the statement? (It's just for test purposes, I'm
only interested on the 'update-alternatives ... -newstyle' part) It says
"broken pipe" randomly.

Thanks

			Marcelo
