No problem.  I think this is a common misunderstanding. :)

Not really.  Maybe forking is having some unpleasant interaction with
the kqueue state?  This seems like a stretch though.  Oops, actually
maybe that's exactly it?  I only have an OS X machine handy at the
moment, but maybe this is significant:

  The kqueue() system call creates a new kernel event queue and returns
  a descriptor.  The queue is not inherited by a child created with
  fork(2).

There's a wiki page with not much information on it:

  http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedTrial

And a howto that's more about testing than about trial:
