The user pressed "Stop" or went to another website before the page
(including all images and other stuff) was fully loaded.  "Broken
pipe" and "Connection reset by peer" are pretty common error messages
you'll find (for example) in every Apache logfile - this is nothing
specific to Hunchentoot or Lisp.
