I just had a quick look at the patch. The patch should probably
use kern_setsockopt, which will simplify it considerably.
(kern_setsockopt was introduced to FreeBSD 5 this summer to make
it easier to do this sort of thing). It would probably also be
better to do a kern_getsockopt first to find out if SO_NOPIPE is
set and only turn it off afterwards if it wasn't already on.

I guess that it would be even better if we could just pass
SO_NOPIPE to send, or even implement MSG_NOSIGNAL on FreeBSD,
but your patch is probably a reasonably start.
