It may be getting SIGPIPE when trying to write to a closed socket. To handle signals, see man sigaction. On the other hand your application may just be deciding to throw in the towel recv() returns <= 0.

sockatmark
SOCKATMARK(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SOCKATMARK(3)
NAME
sockatmark - determine whether socket is at out-of-band mark
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/socket.h>
int sockatmark(int sockfd);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
sockatmark(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600
DESCRIPTION
sockatmark() returns a value indicating whether or not the socket referred to by the file descriptor sockfd is at the out-of-band mark. If
the socket is at the mark, then 1 is returned; if the socket is not at the mark, 0 is returned. This function does not remove the out-of-
band mark.
RETURN VALUE
A successful call to sockatmark() returns 1 if the socket is at the out-of-band mark, or 0 if it is not. On error, -1 is returned and
errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EBADF sockfd is not a valid file descriptor.
EINVAL sockfd is not a file descriptor to which sockatmark() can be applied.
VERSIONS
sockatmark() was added to glibc in version 2.2.4.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
If sockatmark() returns 1, then the out-of-band data can be read using the MSG_OOB flag of recv(2).
Out-of-band data is only supported on some stream socket protocols.
sockatmark() can safely be called from a handler for the SIGURG signal.
sockatmark() is implemented using the SIOCATMARK ioctl(2) operation.
BUGS
Prior to glibc 2.4, sockatmark() did not work.
EXAMPLE
The following code can be used after receipt of a SIGURG signal to read (and discard) all data up to the mark, and then read the byte of
data at the mark:
char buf[BUF_LEN];
char oobdata;
int atmark, s;
for (;;) {
atmark = sockatmark(sockfd);
if (atmark == -1) {
perror("sockatmark");
break;
}
if (atmark)
break;
s = read(sockfd, buf, BUF_LEN) <= 0);
if (s == -1)
perror("read");
if (s <= 0)
break;
}
if (atmark == 1) {
if (recv(sockfd, &oobdata, 1, MSG_OOB) == -1) {
perror("recv");
...
}
}
