The stream in this case (where I hit the bug) is just the console, but I
suspect the same issue will affect other streams too.

A key piece of information is that this is probably triggered by having a
custom SIGPIPE handler, which my particular application has.

When a SIGPIPE handler is in place, errors such as EAGAIN and EWOULDBLOCK
might be generated and the logging module wasn't resilient to it.

Here is the unified patch output:
