Is there a reason for using SOCK_DGRAM instead of the usual SOCK_STREAM?
The latter will make the recv return 0, indicating the other end closed
the connection, as it did happen, as one peers exits before the other
select(2)s:

$ ./socketpair 
server - Socket is ready to write
server - Socket is not ready to read
exited: 14520
master - Socket is ready to write
master - Socket is ready to read
master - recv - Resource temporarily unavailable(11)

This could be a bug, or standard behaviour for disconnected datagram
sockets (I don't know enough of the standards).

  
I attach a slightly improved version. This sleeps for an hour on both sides. I have tried removing the MSG_DONTWAIT but still get the same response.

The SOCK_DGRAM is because I have small packets flowing that I do not want fragmented but do not mind if they get lost, .... but then inside a machine that does not matter. However with SOCK_STREAM I get zero length messages but still ready to read continuously!!! See attached!
