event_dispatch() in main(), frontend() and engine() returns 0.
the man page says:
In order to process events, an application needs to call
event_dispatch(). This function only returns on error, and should
replace the event core of the application program.
which apparently is a lie. No idea how this can happen.
I guess we are hitting this in event_base_loop():
if (base->event_count_active) {
event_process_active(base);
if (!base->event_count_active && (flags & EVLOOP_ONCE))
done = 1;
} else if (flags & EVLOOP_NONBLOCK)
done = 1;

In my defence, I have been left unsupervised.
