Exit code 0 signals that a worker should be restarted. Therefore
graceful exit can't really use that.  I think a) we really need to
improve bgworker infrastructure around that b) shows the limit of using
bgworkers for this kinda thing - we should probably have a more bgworker
like infrastructure for internal workers.
