I just looked at the code, and MT::App::takedown does not actually 
finish the connection before calling the callbacks.  What I mean by 
'finish' is that the cgi has disconnected the user.  For CGI::Fast code 
this is done via a call to '$CGI::Fast::Ext_Request->Finish()' and for 
normal cgi code, I suspect that 'close STDOUT; close STDIN;' would work.

The advantage of Finishing the connection is that the user does not have 
to wait for the appendix tasks to finish before their browser tells them 
that it is done.
