I think the `listenUDP´ line probably causes an AttributeError to be raised.
This prevents the tac file from being evaluated completely, so twistd ends
up with an exception instead of an application.  Take a look at the classes
in twisted.application.internet (eg UDPServer, TCPServer) for the way to set
up servers the new way.
