Thanks.
I don't think it actually dies. I was testing from the command line and
that continued to work. I guess it's flushing the input or something like
that.
```
$ set -o pipefail
dash: 1: set: Illegal option -o pipefail
$ set -o pipefail; date
dash: 2: set: Illegal option -o pipefail
$ echo "still working"
still working
$
```
