Description:
------------
As sigpipe appears to be ignored (http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_TRUNK/sapi/fpm/fpm/fpm_main.c#1584) when a sigpipe is recieved, the fcgi_request here https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/sapi/fpm/fpm/fastcgi.c#L316 appears to always be null, and so all subsiquent requests to all workers via nginx are treated as bad gateway errors. 

Below is a backtrace from a worker where this has occured.

Core was generated by `/opt/php/sbin/php-fpm'.
Program terminated with signal 13, Broken pipe.

After experiencing the issue for months - this is what's causing my production server to lock up. Nice to know now.

Just an update of the links in the bug as this seem to be reported against 5.4:

https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.4/sapi/fpm/fpm/fpm_main.c#L1584
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.4/sapi/fpm/fpm/fastcgi.c#L316

There's a reason why SIGPIPE is blocked but it might still need a look to see if there is anything we can do about this issue.

I just had a look on this one and it seems to me like another issue that got fixed during PHP 7 (don't remember exact version) but should be fixed in PHP 8. I don't think blocking SIGPIPE was the reason for this and it wouldn't really make much sense to me why it should.

I will close this but in case you still experience an issue in PHP 8.2+, please open a new GitHub issue and we will deal with that.
