What seems to matter is whether the executed program actually reads the input.

Try for example

ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("cat", ""); // will produce "Hello"

vs

ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("cat", "xx"); // will yield the
error

The equivalent behaviour can be observed at a linux command prompt:

$ echo "klh" | cat
klh
$ echo "klh" | cat my_existing_file_containing_xx.txt
xx
bash: echo: write error: Broken pipe

The question is just what would be optimal behaviour. For consistency one will
guess that the current behaviour is good.

Side note: Adding Thread.Sleep(5000) after Start() still produced the error (on
a Debian lenny 2008-12).
