Easy to say, harder to do. Setting watchpoints or breakpoints or?? And
where, even if I've found where SIGPIPE/EPIPE are defined/used. How to
kone if I listen on the transmitting or receiving end? Sorry, I'm not
fluent with the pflocal/libpipe code. I just skimmed through pipe.{c,h}.
I need help from some experienced Hurd hacker here. I can follow
instructions, but they have to come from that person.
