The code calls fork(), but no exec():

fork() with no exec() is legal Unix. Various googling led me to: http://trac.adium.im/ticket/13976#comment:28 """The problem is that OSX since version 10.6 (Snow Leopard) does NOT allow processes launched via Dock (not via exec) to use fork() function, which is one used by Gadu-Gadu resolver. And stuff that crashes is NOT main Adium process, but resolver GG process, that is killed by OS itself. """ If that's the case, I don't think twistd will work in that situation. twistd expects to be able to fork() (unless you give the "-n" argument to keep it in the foreground)
