Thanks to: J. Lee <jlee@sobeco.com> Ron Quinn <rjq@mpccl.ksu.edu> Barry Margolin <barmar@Think.COM> Dave Eisen <dkeisen@leland.stanford.edu> broken pipe is supposed to terminate the program if signal SIGPIPE is not caught or ignored. For my aplication, a signal(SIGPIPE,SIG_IGN) with error checks on the returns of i/o operation works fine.
