Only multi-threaded scenarios, where another thread is running at the same 
time as the (empty) reactor loop.  A quick question, though...  if you use 
a Twisted reactor instead of the PEAK reactor, does *it* shut down?

One issue here is that since UntwistedReactor is an emulation of the basic 
Twisted reactor functions, I'd like to keep its operations relatively 
compatible.
