use sockets for scriptlet/hook communication
If a scriptlet/hook dies at the wrong moment it can trigger SIGPIPE, terminating the process. For pipes, there is no way to prevent SIGPIPE other than ignoring it process-wide. This can have unintended consequences in a multi-threaded process. Using send(2) with sockets, however, allows ignoring SIGPIPE on a per-call basis, leaving other threads able to make use of SIGPIPE.
