Thanks for testing the RC.

The Linux manpage describe the flag as "don't SIGPIPE on
stream-oriented socket when the other end breaks the connection".
Since the socket in use is SOCK_DGRAM it looks like a no-op to me;
probably just habit on the part of the writer, and you could happily
define it to zero.

I'd not use SO_NOSIGPIPE even given the (presumed) similar function;
that will be a socket-option bit and there's no telling what it
might do when used for a send flag.


Unless someone knowing more speaks up I'll remove that flag from
the send call.
