Jeff is right, the read() returns 0, not -1. Anyway, the server program was crashed at select() as in my previous email. It is not the write() problem as there is no write() in my server program. As I said in my last email, I am really looking for a network system call to gracefully respond the client termination. The SIGPIPE with SIG_IGN did not work.
The graceful response to a client terminate is close() and then forget about the fd.
If your application is crashing in select() with a SIGBUS/SIGSEGV error then somehow gave bad fd_set pointers to select(). This is not related to clients closing/aborting their connections.
