Lix blocks SIGPIPE, and std::cout ignores EPIPE (actually it probably stashes an error code in some flag that no one ever reads, with the same end result). Consequently, nix-eval-jobs would waste resources by continuing to evaluate even when the reader interested in the results has long gone away. Instead, use writeToStdout, which throws an error on EPIPE, leading to the process terminating as desired.
