Make EPIPE tracebacks go away (#595)

These errors aren't very helpful and they tend to fill up logs. They could be
caused by something as innocent as `curl -N http://localhost:6006/ | head`. It
could also be caused by firewalls, or perhaps the browser abruptly navigating
somewhere else. So we wouldn't want users to mistake these as meaningful when
troubleshooting.
