On IRC I semi-randomly pondered if filters could be more isolated so that
errors in the filters would result in failure but were prevented from ever
taking down the rest of the application with them.

The idea wasn't shouted down as impractical but it was pointed out there
would be extra resources required if filters were to be run in a seperate
thread.  Without particularly knowing half as much about it as I probalby
should I'm suggesteing it again and I'll file a bug report if you think it
is worth considering to help improve stability?
