[Bug nscd/2501] New: apps crash when nscd is malfunctioning

["dmueller at suse dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

due to the socket leak bug in nscd, the situation that all client apps are 
immediately killed during startup occurred. this is because the nscd-client was 
able to open the socket and poll() on it succeeded, but then during writing the 
request header, it receives a SIGPIPE, because the receiving end (the nscd 
server) wasn't actually able to accept the connection due to being run out of 
file descriptors. 

I don't know a better way other than temporarily overwriting the SIGPIPE 
handler. mostly untested patch attached.
