When I wrote "standalone.py" in the first place years ago, I 
intended it only for experiments to get your feet wet with 
former viewcvs with out the need to hassle with Apache only
to see how viewvc would look like.  For daily use I recommend 
to use viewvc together with Apache.  

From the backtrace you posted I try to guess:  The broken pipe 
exception could mean the the process on the other end (your 
web browser?) did close the connection while viewvc stills
tries to deliver data to it.

Did you put some very huge file into your repository?  I think
it is unlikely that the file *docroot*/images/viewvc-logo.png 
suddenly causes this problem.
