The "#else" part of the code that I suggested - i.e., the line
	 signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN);
was intended for those systems - if any - that don't define "SO_NOSIGPIPE" (but do define "SIGPIPE").  (Also, because this code will be executed in the "RTSPServer" constructor, it will usually be done only once per process, because most processes won't create more than one "RTSPServer" object.)

But anyway, I'll include this change in a future release of the software.
