+Subject: [PATCH] sigpipe: init the struct so that first apply ignores
+
+Initializes 'no_signal' to TRUE, so that a call to sigpipe_apply() after
+init ignores the signal (unless CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL) is set.
+
+I have read the existing code multiple times now and I think it gets the
+initial state reversed this missing to ignore.
+
+Regression from 17e6f06ea37136c36d27
+
+Reported-by: Rasmus Thomsen
+Fixes #14344
+Closes #14390
