Summary:                    res_pktccops.c using MSG_NOSIGNAL
Description: 
MSG_NOSIGNAL doesn't exist on OS/X

According to
http://lists.apple.com/archives/macnetworkprog/2002/Dec/msg00091.html OS/X
has "the socket option SO_NOSIGPIPE that prevents SIGPIPE from being raised
when a write fails on a socket to which there is no reader; instead the
write to the socket returns with the error EPIPE."

Found more information claiming that MSG_NOSIGNAL is not posix compliant
and doesn't exist in BSD

http://lists.policyd.org/pipermail/devel/2007-September/000468.html

However the man page for send() on FreeBSD includes it.
 #define MSG_NOSIGNAL    0x20000 /* do not generate SIGPIPE on EOF */

The man page for OS/X Snow leopard only include two flags for send():

----
     The flags parameter may include one or more of the following:

     #define MSG_OOB        0x1  /* process out-of-band data */
     #define MSG_DONTROUTE  0x4  /* bypass routing, use direct interface
*/
