Please can people put a quick explanation of why they're closing a bug report into the close email. If it's fixed in CVS, a cut-n-paste of the relevant ChangeLog entry that addresses the problem would be cool. Otherwise, just a sentence or two would be enough. Austin

Current gimp (1.1.21) seems to have problems with recovering from any plugin that dies. Things start going wrong when it takes a SIGPIPE while trying to write(read?) to the pipe to the plugin which is dead. Rather than ignoring SIGPIPE, and collecting an EPIPE from the io operation and using

I said: The SIGPIPE problem is because on_signal is currently treating it as a fatal signal (see the case on_signal in app/main.c). The on_signal routine should probably be modified to not treat SIGPIPE as fatal. That should fix the problem Austin is seeing (that others will no doubt see too).
