Current master, OS X self built.

bitcoind exits after I press Ctrl+C in the other terminal after running the command
```
bitcoin-cli getrawmempool true
```
The output of the command is quite large right now... When I press Ctrl+C, the bitcoind running in the other terminal window will exit. The exit code is 141 (141-128 = 13, SIGPIPE).

When the mempool gets large enough, ie. cca 30000 txs, I can reproduce with cca 30% probability.

Looks like new libevent based webserver doesn't handle SIGPIPE correctly.
