test instance problems

I am using mod_fastcgi with the following setup:

Windows XP
Apache 2.0.58
mod_fastcgi 2.4.2

The CGI script is written in Python (using the flup package).  In order 
to get the two talking to each other I am using the following directives:

FastCgiConfig -autoUpdate -maxClassProcesses 1 -maxProcesses 1 
-minProcesses 1 -processSlack 1
FastCgiServer cgi-bin/fcgi_handler.py -port 8081

Since I am using this for active development, I want the python app to 
reload when I update it.  Unfortunately, "-autoUpdate" does not seem to 
work.  As an alternative, I set up my code to handle a single request 
and then exit.  As expected, the old app instance terminates a new 
instance of the app is automatically created, effectively making this 
act like traditional CGI.  But this also does not seem to work 
perfectly.  I encountered the "[...] has failed to remain running for 30 
seconds given 3 attempts, its restart interval has been backed off to 
600 seconds" message in the error log (and the associated delay).

So, is there a way to stop that behavior?  If not, is there a way to get 
the -autoUpdate directive working properly with the above setup?
