This seems to reproduce it about 90% of the time. Create a 2961 byte
file as /tmp/xx (works for me, you may need it larger or smaller
for your system). Oh, I'm running the server and client on the
same system so that's no problem.

% ./server &
% ./client localhost:9999
connection on S, fd: 3
inside fork: pid=2740
sigpipe

I'm getting a SIGPIPE instead of ENOTCONN, but it may be that
I'm seeing another side of the same problem. Anyway, this is
something for others to play around with in the meantime.
I'll dig some more (maybe some packet traces will tell more).
