I already expected a suggestion like this one. That's why I have split
the dbus_modify_sigpipe change into a seperate commit that is
independant from the rest of the MSG_NOSIGNAL work. When you merge my
tree it is up to you if you apply that specific tiny patch that just
changes the default setting of that flag or not.
