This is more complicated than it looks :)

Standard procedure for normal applications is to set those signals to SIG_IGN. We cannot do this, since we need to take care of third party signal handler (eg if a signal handler was in place for SIG_PIPE, we cannot just remove it by setting it to SIG_IGN.

We may be able to do this too, but I have to think this through. For now, lets do as the Romans do.
