I've been reading through code trying to figure out what is going on here, where this message might be coming from. My current train of thought is that the 11 exit code being seen is in z2.py is a result of sys.ZServerExitCode getting set somewhere and z2.py exiting with that code.

So I've been trying to find where code sets sys.ZServerExitCode and what I've found is in ZServer.HTTPResponse.ChannelPipe.close. In this routine, the value of self._shutdown is assigned to r which then gets assigned to sys.ZServerExitCode.

It looks like self._shutdown only gets assigned when ZServer.HTTPResponse.ChannelPipe.finish gets called and a response header contains an bobo-exception-type of exceptions.SystemExit.

So I'm guessing now that somewhere this exception is getting set but I can't seem to figure out why.
