A quick idea which might be the solution, but also might be totally wrong:

By default on Linux, your process can get killed by SIGPIPE if trying to write to a socket that had been closed by the remote peer:

When writing onto a connection-oriented socket that has been shut down (by the local or the remote end) SIGPIPE is sent to the writing process and EPIPE is returned. The signal is not sent when the write call specified the MSG_NOSIGNAL flag.
Double-clicking a link may mean that the first connection gets closed and a new connection re-established. Does it get better if you set $SIG{PIPE} = 'IGNORE';?
