mongoose dying from SIGPIPE

Unfortunately, MSG_NOSIGNAL is not portable. The application must ignore/handle
SIGPIPE in a way it is done in main.c.

Sorry for posting to this old bug report, but since it's the only relevant 
search result when searching for "mongoose web server sigpipe" I just wanted to 
add this here for future reference. 
I've been having this problem with a linux build of mongoose 3.0 and it's been 
driving me crazy trying to find out why signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN) is not 
working...

Turns out, if you are debugging your code in gdb, it overrides the signal 
handlers (duh) causing SIGPIPE to no longer be ignored. Finally realised this, 
ran it outside gdb and everything is fine. Entering "handle SIGPIPE nostop" 
fixes problem in gdb.
Thanks for mongoose btw, great project.
