With this change, the 500 status header in the exception handler is
never sent.

A simple test:

<?php
header('HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found');
var_dump(headers_list());
?>

reveals, that the status header is not included in the output of
headers_list(), at least not in the php versions I tested (5.2.13, 5.3.2).

So the only solution I could imagine is to use a dedicated exception
class (or at least a special Exception code), which the can be handled
accordingly in the exception handlers.
This would be cleaner anyway.

Kind regards,
Helmut
