Doesn't the comment in patch 2
/* Restore the default SIGPIPE signal handling before exiting. From
this point on, we prefer to get a SIGPIPE signal to an EPIPE error,
since close_stdout interprets EPIPE as a failure condition. */
... also apply as
/* Restore the default SIGPIPE signal handling before exiting. From

condition. */
? If so, there would be basically no change in the behavior of tee with
patch 2 applied, no matter if close_stdout fails on EPIPE or not.
