The offending code is below. It seems rather inappropriate to me for
a module to be calling exit() under any circumstances. For one thing,
the pid file doesn't get cleaned up. But apparently a lot of modules do
this... Something to clean up in 2.0...
Anyway, the reason it didn't happen before is that I didn't enable
that module before, so that's my bad; the code's been there a long time.
Never mind me.
