Thanks, this is really great but it doesn't seem to work with Hosting.AspNet - any ideas?

@JeanTerblanche It may not be the same issue as you are seeing but I needed to call errorresponse.PreExecute(context); to prevent a null reference exception within Nancy.Responses.MaterialisingResponse.

L35 of errorstatuscodehandler.cs becomes

var errorresponse = responseNegotiator.NegotiateResponse(response, context);
errorresponse.PreExecute(context);
context.Response = errorresponse;

@MacsDickinson thank you very much - I was encountering the same issue and this fixed it.
