Isn't this a bad idea? SIGPIPE generally indicates that something went
wrong. If we ignore it, important problems may go unnoticed. To me,
this seems kind of like ignoring SIGSEGV to get around a memory access
to an unmapped area that would be inconvenient to prevent.
Furthermore, what happens if a REPL is started within a Guile process
that wants to install its own handler for SIGPIPE?
Why is a pipe being created here, anyway? Why not just a socket?
Best,
