It doesn't. If the server continues to run, then it's ignoring/handling
both SIGPIPE and the EPIPE error. Either that, or another process has the
read end of the pipe open (so no SIGPIPE/EPIPE), and the server is using
non-blocking I/O or select() so that it doesn't block writing its
diagnostic messages.
