When the choice is between aborting a thread and potentially dumping core, and not exiting, I'll take dumping core. In order to implement this in twisted, you need to subclass ThreadPool and override the method that creates the Thread object, or alternatively, don't use reactor.callInThread(). If you can substitute a threadpool for txAMPQ then that will probably be the cleanest way.
