My "long running" app is actually a web server, apache & mod_python.
I had used metakit in non-web applications before and liked it.  All
my unit tests for the web stuff passed no problem (they simulate a single
request), but in production it blanks the bed randomly.

Do, I'll gladly be a tester.  How are you approaching the wrappers?
In my experience hand written plain-C wrappers are fastest and robust.
The current python metakit wrapper suffers from trying to eek out a 
little extra speed by having the real C++ classes be real python classes
to boot.  That's a tough thing to do right, and since it is easy to not
do it that way, why not?
