Error when piping to `less`

[apennebaker]

I like to scroll through linter output with the Unix less command. This mostly works, but when I quit from less, csslint experiences an EPIPE error.

$ csslint .
...
$ csslint . | less
...
q
fs.js:528
  return binding.write(fd, buffer, offset, length, position);
                 ^

Could csslint play a little nicer when being piped (e.g., check isTTY())? How does jshint do this?

I am not able to reproduce this on 0.10.0

EDIT correction, I can reproduce this, but only if exiting less pager before scrolling to the end of the output
