Thread: SIGPIPE does not try to cancel a query

Hi folks

Several times I killed clients which issued a longtime query. The
clients don't cancel the query and closes the connection. The backend
ignores the delivered SIGPIPE instead of counting it as a cancelation
request like SIGINT/TERM.

That's intentional.
