Catching exceptions from logging socket handler

[Larry Martell]

I have a socket logging handler and I want to be able to catch
exceptions from it. Specifically, I want to know if the remote side
has gone away so I can close the socket and reopen it when the remote
side come back.

What happens now is that I get Broken pipe and BAD_WRITE_RETRY
exceptions, but it's not coming from any functions I directly call. is
there any way to catch these?
