Comment (by dustin):

 It looks like {{{socket.getfqdn()}}} is the culprit.  I'm guessing that
 this function somehow spawns a thread, and then twistd immediately forks
 without an exec.  The result is the pandemonium you might expect from a
 forked thread that suddenly finds itself running twice.

 I'm curious as to what might cause this, but I will probably just revert
 #1017 as a short-term fix.
