I just looked at 1.1.19, and on_signal there was doing the same thing it is now: SIGPIPE caused a call to gimp_terminate. Obviously the current code is based on the older code. So why is Austin observing the problem now? I'm not sure. It does seem like it's behaving as expected based on the code. The thing to try would be to use a different signal handler for SIGPIPE, that doesn't terminate the gimp. Perhaps just ignore the signal and let the plug-in protocol detect the problem (assuming it can?)?
