Oct  2 17:00:17 ninja crow-httpd[14845]: # Error of type SI::SIMPLE-STREAM-ERROR: C operation (fflush) signaled an error. C library explanation: Broken pipe.  Stack trace:  in G756  in REPLY-FLUSH  in HTTP-REDIRECT  in HTTP-SERVE  in ACCEPT-LOOP-THREAD

I can now indeed see stream errors.  Is it expected to be unexported?

The httpd currently matches it fine using (or end-of-file
si::simple-stream-error) and can now report it in a better context with
more information such at the IP address and connection ID, and it's only
reported conditionally, as intended.  This condition no longer falls to
the server's top-level as bug, thanks.

i.e. with :log-errors debug-feature:
