Package: libxmlrpc++0
Version: 0.7+cvs20040713-2
Severity: normal

When the remote end disconnects suddenly the XmlRpc socket layer causes
a SIGPIPE to be generated to the application since it only detects some
errors on failure of send().  This can be reproduced by creating a
server with a long running method and then killing the client while that
method is executing.

This can be avoided by using MSG_NOSIGNAL when calling send().

Applications can also handle SIGPIPE, though this makes it more
difficult for them to use the signal for their own ends.
