No, "signal 13" means broken pipe.



The answer is the `head` command is exiting after 1 line (-n 1) and that 
breaks the pipe.


Using `tail` does not generate the "signal 13" message.


So, rewriting the `find` commands such that the `ls` ordering gives us a 
list where we want to run `tail` on it will make that issue go away.
