• Fix: admin requests (such as GET /version) with errors now return '400 Bad Request', not '200 OK'
• Fix: attempt to create an entity with an error in service path (and probably more types of errors) now returns '400 Bad Request', not '200 OK' (#2763)
• Fix: not calling regfree when regcomp fails. Potential fix for a crash (#2769)
