Changing signals with sigaction affects the entire process - so if you've got multiple threads running with multiple remote connections open, you can get overlapping calls. Either we should just block sigpipe in virInitialize, or mandate that the application needs to block sigpipe itself. I'm not sure really what best course is - I'd probably lean towards saying it is the application's responsibility to deal with sig handlers.
