So I take it this is Mac OS X! ;-)

Does this system have MSG_NOSIGNAL defined? If you check lib/setup.h libcurl
uses this argument to its send() calls if it is present:

        MSG_NOSIGNAL
               Requests not to send SIGPIPE on errors on stream oriented sock-
               ets when the other end breaks the connection. The EPIPE error is
               still returned.

Have you tried to simply have your app ignore SIGPIPE?
