I think it crashes because of this SIGPIPE.  I hope some Unix expert
will be able to explain why Emacs gets get SIGPIPE in this scenario.
Perhaps because you kill emacsclient too quickly?

It might help if you post the details of how you "launch a new
emacsclient with a keypress and kill it with another keypress".  IOW,
please describe the recipe to reproduce the problem starting from
"emacs -Q -nw --daemon".

Thanks.
