You say that using the USR1 signal shuts down Zope when using Products.signalstack. But no special packages should be necessary, so I wonder if adding signalstack has this side effect of shutting down Zope.

At least for me, a few weeks ago, this worked fine on a Plone 4.3.something site:

kill -USR1 $(cat var/zeoclient.pid)
