Receiving SIGPIPE for PQfinish(<broken-connection>)

Hi,

I've a problem when calling PQfinish() on a broken connection.

Breakpoint 1, main () at finish.c:9
9 PGconn *conn = PQconnectdb("dbname=test");
(gdb) n
11 if (PQstatus(conn) != CONNECTION_OK)
(gdb) n
18 PQfinish(conn);

Shutting down postmaster in here (or restarting on another port).

(gdb) n

Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
0xffffe410 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt

#9 0x080485f1 in main () at finish.c:18

Should I handle SIGPIPE each time I call PQfinish() manually or should
PQfinish() be responsible for this task?

Regards.
