Of course! but to syslog :-)

It's a daemon sending data to clients, when
I get nonzero return from curl_easy_perform() I just
mark the job as not-sent and put it back in the queue
to try again later.

I should have said : this is Debain linux 2.4.22 , gcc-3.3,
curl 7.11.1 (debian libcurl2 v 7.11.1-1). The manual
for sendmsg(2) mentions MSG_NOSIGNAL, so I think that
this a supported platform
