They should be equivalent - if the other end closes first, you'll get a SIGPIPE, which by default will kill the process. If you want to keep running you have to handle or ignore the signal.
How about if I use MSG_NOSIGNAL in the flags argument?
I don't think I'd do that. Rather, trap only the ones you expect (for testing *ONLY*), then have it let you know of any other errors handed it. But don't just let it crash. Consider that other errors might be coming (SEGV, say).
