Apache 1.0 did not generate such error log messages.

Apache 1.3+ supports syslog-like loglevels. The broken pipe message is
logged as a 'warning' and not as an error.

No, you cannot turn if of for this particular message, but the
verbosity of the error log can be defined on a per-server basis with the new
(yet undocumented) LogLevel directive.
If you use "LogLevel Error" only 'emerg', 'alert', 'crit' and 'error'
messages are logged, but no 'warn', 'notice', 'info' or 'debug' messages.

1% of all hits appears to be a normal value (in my opinion only >>5%
may indicate a problem). If you haven't received any complaints from your
visitors you can savely ignore the messages.
