I am trying to block the SIGPIPE signal, I have used the Posix sigprocmask
call to set the signal to blocked. However the program sill bails out if the
client closes its socket. The exception handler appears to be called then
the program terminates. When I run the program in gdb, it gives a SIGPIPE
signal just after the thread swap happens... Heres the report from gdb:
I think I know what's going on:
The runtime system is using sigprocmask for it's own purposes and accidentally overwrites your signal mask. In short: stay away from sigProcMask and friends, they don't work.

Instead, try to use:
installHandler sigPIPE Ignore Nothing

I hope that works, I haven't tried it.
