Twisted certainly does cope just fine with this. Unfortunately it wants
to be the framework of your program rather than a library you can call
into when you occasionally need it, so it's not obviously a good idea
for bzr selftest. Oh, and Twisted officially doesn't support being
fork()ed either, which is a shame because I use --parallel=fork a lot.
