Thanks.

I think I was doing something wrong on a different level. I didn't read (in my graceful exit proc) from the pipe to which I had written in order to trigger the QSocketNotifier. 

Curiously I also discovered a bit later that QSocketNotifier apparently reacts to unread data on the fd/socket instead of only once to the writing of that data (Linux 4.14, Qt 5.9.6): my slot was being called repetitively in reaction to a single signal. Probably after modifying something because this does seem to contradict what I noticed earlier...

Anyway, now that I read from the pipe when the slot is called everything seems to work as intended again...
