Googling for this, it seems lots of people have experienced this problem
already, just not with libcurl.

I find it annoying enough that the only "fix" I've seen mentioned in the
articles I found, and in the SSL man pages, is to provide a signal handler to
ignore the SIGPIPE...

At least you might be able to provide a work-around in your app for now. Let
me know if you can figure out a way to tell OpenSSL we don't want no signal...
