I grossly overestimated the effect that can be caused by neglecting to catch an error generated from the error handler.  Zope won't shut down.  But the transaction won't be aborted.  I actually think this might be ok, as it will implicitly be started by the next begin() but I'm looking into it.

Recently a patch was applied to the main ZPublisher.Publish.publish method to cause an error handler to be executed in the context of the "main" transaction for the request.  Michael Dunstan has pointed out that if the error handler itself raises an error, it would be possible for unintended things to happen (like, perhaps Zope shutting down).
