From the Network documentation

" 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
