Comment (by olly):

 For me, the '''server''' reports:

 {{{
 Got exception NetworkError: Received EOF (context: db_the_bug)
 Closing connection.
 }}}

 (It's clearer this is from the server if you run the server in a separate
 terminal.)

 But that just means "client closed the connection" - it's not a bug for a
 read-only client to do that since there's nothing to commit and so no need
 for an explicit shutdown exchange.  For a writable client, it's useful for
 the client to wait for the database to actually be closed, since the write
 lock will still be held until then, and any implicit commit on close won't
 have happened.

 I guess your server just doesn't display that message.

 It's not a very useful message, and potentially confusing (as here) -
 perhaps we should suppress it or reword it (or suppress it by default and
 only show it with `--verbose`).
