        Actually it does because the status code should be preserved to
        downstream stacked handlers (and, my testing, it apparantly
        isn't):

                sub some_nested_function {
                        $r->status( SERVER_ERROR );
                        Apache->exit( 0 );
                }

                # in downstream.pm handler
                sub handler {
                        # $r->status() is NOT SERVER_ERROR here
                }
