[Rpm-maint] Sigpipe handling in build/rpmfc.c

[Michael Schroeder]

Hi guys,

what's the reason for the complex pipe handling with sigpipe_handler(),
sigpipe_init() and sigpipe_finish()?

IMHO aborting the read when a SIGCHLD occurs is wrong, as the
pipe may still contain unread data (and data is only read in
sizeof(buf)-1 chunks). Wouldn't it make more sense to simply
ignore SIGCHLD and read until an EOF is returned, i.e. the
read returns zero bytes?

Cheers,
  Michael.
