From the Network documentation
(http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/network/Network.html) :
" SIGPIPE
On Unix, when reading from a socket and the writing end is closed by the remote client, the program is normally sent a SIGPIPE signal by the operating system.
Um, that's the wrong way round. In the situation described above the program gets EOF. SIGPIPE is generated when the program *writes* to a socket whose other end has been closed.
Thanks, well spotted. I've updated that comment. Cheers, Simon
