Hello all. I was having some trouble with the reloader being horribly broken for me (leaving half-restarted applications), so I looked into it, and found that half the threads spawned were immune to the os._exit(3) in periodic_reloader.
So, here is a patch which replaces the os._exit(3), with a SIGHUP sent to the parent-process; this works beautifully for me. /s
