I don't have the code handy right now, look for the call to
pthread_sigmask(). The signal mask is cleared for all 0MQ I/O threads,
so they will not get any signals (excepting SIGSEGV, etc.)

Hence the SIGPIPE issue should be moot, unless on some broken OS a
SIGPIPE correctly ignored by a 0MQ I/O thread is getting sent to an
application thread instead, which is why I asked to see a practical case
of something breaking.
