This is functionally 23c2b82c336bf19b7a29a90d19bca4423d8b8839 again, but
for more locations. I'm never going to understand why some people get
this SIGPIPE but I don't, but I guess it makes sense to do this change
-- especially as we do the same elsewhere.

(We need to buffer it somehow with some extra command, grep doesn't have
a way to only output the first result but still avoid propagating
SIGPIPE. Why does bsdtar care about this anyway...)

Accepted.
