If **pv** is writing to a pipe, and the command reading that pipe exits,
**pv** can only discover that has happened when it *next* receives some
input data to transfer. Therefore "**echo \| pv \| sleep 1**" will wait
forever, but "**{ echo; sleep 3; echo; } \| pv \| sleep 1**" will end
after 3 seconds when **pv** tries to transfer the second line of input.
