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).
