This error is "connection reset by peer". Those nasty web clients are 
doing an abortive close on their sockets, so the connection is "aborted" 
rather than gracefully closed.

This is going to happen *a lot*, (anytime someone presses STOP on 
their browser).

I think it would be good if ZopeHTTPServer would *not* generate a 
traceback for this error, just ignore it and treat is as "connection closed".

We must come down from our heights, and leave our straight 
paths, for the byways and low places of life, if we would 
learn truths by strong contrasts; and in hovels, in forecastles, 
and among our own outcasts in foreign lands, see what has been 
wrought upon our fellow-creatures by accident, hardship, or vice.
