I believe that the are some errors on the following code:

#if !defined(HAVE_POSIX_SIGNALS)
      {
          pqsigfunc old;
           old = signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN);
          if (old != SIG_DFL)
              conn->do_sigaction = false;
          signal(SIGPIPE, old);
      }
#else
    {
          struct sigaction oact;

          if (sigaction(SIGPIPE, NULL, &oact) == 0 && oact.sa_handler != SIG_DFL)
              conn->do_sigaction = false;
      }
#endif   /* !HAVE_POSIX_SIGNALS */

the old signal handler is not reinstated in case of
HAVE_POSIX_SIGNAL

May be this sound better:


#if !defined(HAVE_POSIX_SIGNALS)
      {
          pqsigfunc old;
           old = signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN);
          if (old != SIG_DFL && old != SIG_ERR)
              conn->do_sigaction = false;

        if ( old != SIG_ERR )
            signal(SIGPIPE, old);

      }
#else
    {
          struct sigaction oact;
        int err;

          if ( (err = sigaction(SIGPIPE, NULL, &oact)) == 0 &&
                     oact.sa_handler != SIG_DFL)
              conn->do_sigaction = false;

        if ( err == 0 )
            sigaction(SIGPIPE, &oact, NULL);

      }
#endif   /* !HAVE_POSIX_SIGNALS */
