>Description:
I have a PHP page that sits in an infinite loop. When a browser leaves this
page, the child httpd recieves a SIGPIPE, but ignores it, and continues to run,
even though the client is long gone. The output of a truss:
read(7, "05 C h r i s\t 9 1 2 4 8".., 52) = 52
read(7, "01\0\0\n", 4) = 4
read(7, "FE", 1) = 1
write(6, " < f o n t c o l o r =".., 182) Err#32 EPIPE
Received signal #13, SIGPIPE [ignored]

but please dont.
>Fix:
I haven't looked at the source code, but it seems like a good idea not to
ignore SIGPIPE. There may be other reasons to ignore it that I'm not aware of,
however.
