I notice that mothra doesn't react well to certain web pages,
http://all.net/ for example.  It looks like the event library sees
something unexpected and flags an error, which causes one thread to
abort().  The others hang around in a confused state.

Aside from debugging the immediate problem, is there a good convention
for making sure all the processes in an application go away when one
does?  Killing the process group sounds like the right idea at first
glance.
