Programme reçu signal SIGPIPE, tuyau cassé.?

j'écris un programme client basé sur des sockets posix. Le programme crée plusieurs threads et va verrouiller le serveur. Mais pendant le debug dans le temps gdb le programme donne une info (erreur)

(gdb) n
Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe. [Switching to Thread 0xb74c0b40 (LWP 4864)] 0xb7fdd424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()

voici le code:

struct info

int main(int argc, char** argv)

Ce que c'est et que faire?
