[mod_python] All spawned threads in Restricted Exection Mode

Possibly not much too different to:

  http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2005-January/017129.html

Both the earlier one and your one work for me under:

  mod_python: Creating 32 session mutexes based on 6 max processes and 25 max threads.

Ie., Mac OS X, worker MPM.

The previous poster didn't say what platform they were one from I
can see. Can someone else on Win32 platform try both these examples?
