Cool!  I can testify that adding SvcShutdown to ZRS's service subclass
(just invoking the base class SvcStop) did cure ZRS's Windows shutdown
oddities and didn't appear to create any new problems, so I'm much
more confident now.  I'll fiddle the various Zopes' base service
classes instead tomorrow.  Thanks for the brain cells!
