Hmm is this when the setting was changed to kill FastCGI scripts after a
minute or two when it used to be pretty much indefinite when wolfsbane
was running on Linux?

Sadly this is causing some of my tools to thrash since they have expensive
startups and are used on the English Wiktionary which is popular enough
to keep starting them pretty frequently but of course nowhere near as
popular as Wikipedia which most tools are for.

I've filed a bug on JIRA for this: https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/TS-334
