That's what I was going to suggest -- even if you can get it not to crash, it may well be in a bad state -- memory leaks, and who know what else. We did something similar with some C code that called the system exit() function when it encountered errors -- it may not have been too hard to replace those calls, but making sure the memory was all cleaned up was going to be a trick -- so we just used the multiprocess module to call it in another process.
