I must correct myself. It won't run single threaded because of those
sys.exit calls scattered around in MoinMoin which will simply kill a
single threaded FastCGI process. In a mutlithreaded environment this
simply exits the current thread...

I wonder how this is solved within twisted... but perhaps Thomas reads
this list, too, and can give me a hint to this...
