Programa recibido señal SIGPIPE, Tubería rota.?

Escribo un programa cliente basado en sockets posix. El programa crea múltiples hilos y va a bloquear el servidor. Pero durante la depuración en tiempo gdb el programa da un info (error)

(gdb) n
Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe. [Switching to Thread 0xb74c0b40 (LWP 4864)] 0xb7fdd424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()

Aquí está el código:

¿Qué es y qué hacer?
