[Twisted-web] server crashes

[stephan]

I do use external libs, but they are all instanced within the thread. I 
create a connection to a mysql dbm within each thread but that should not 
cause any conflicts since each thread has its seperate connection object.

Personally I suspect the request object. Unfortunately I cannot just 
deepcopy it and pass it to the thread.

Is there an alternative way doing this? The only way I can imagine is to 
do the threading later down the line which would make it harder to 
maintain a version that also runs within apache.
