[WWWOFFLE-Users] Warning messages

I have been getting about 2000 messages a day in my syslog saying
"wwwoffles[...]: Cannot write to client; disconnected?" - most, but not
all, while the htdig daily (incremental) indexing run is happening - and
they're happening several times a second.

I've been ignoring these, but as they're potentially hiding important
messages I decided last week to track down the cause.  I find that
there are 3 places in wwwoffles that generates them (or similar) as
"Warnings".  The other warnings appear to be potentially serious things,
disk full, wrong permissions, etc, so I don't want to change the
log-level.  However "client disconnected" appears to be a "so what".  I
have therefore changed those three to "Inform" - below the default log
level.  My syslog is clean again :-).

May I offer that as a suggestion for a permanent change.

(Using wwwoffle 2.8e, now 2.8e1 :-).)
