Fwiw, I believe SO_NOSIGPIPE is also FreeBSD 5 option.
It isn't mentioned in the FreeBSD man pages, but it is in the header files.

In your patch, you write:

 setsockopt(sockfd, IPPROTO_TCP, SO_NOSIGPIPE, (void *)&onoff, sizeof(onoff));

However, without testing, unless you've seen an example of this
working in another program, you might find it's not a TCP-layer
option. I.e. you might find it has to say SOL_SOCKET instead; I don't know.

Fwiw I don't use Mac OS or FreeBSD; I just thought I'd pass this bit
of info along.
