[mod_python] global var on 2.7

What you are saying if that if I reload my page enought time I should
start re-using the bigdic object?
Well, it make some sense, i'm going to try using the advices you gave
there http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2005-March/017662.html
about the os.getpid() process and see if that can put my mind to rest.

Thanks for showing me the way,
