Description
After establishing a connection between the MQTT client and the server, if the client's network becomes unstable and the IP is lost, it may cause the program to crash:
/**********************************************************************************/
gdb run sample/async_subscribe.cpp
Connection success
Subscribing to topic 'test/pqq'
for client paho_cpp_async_subscribe using QoS1
Press Q to quit
Subscription success for token: [1]
token topic: 'test/pqq', ...
Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.

- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with gdb and sample/async_subscribe.cpp using the connection and subscription steps shown in the report. Inspect the SIGPIPE backtrace from MQTTAsync_receiveThread and determine the relevant client-side failure path. Done means the same network-loss scenario no longer crashes the program.
