I don't know what apache-mpm is but libgcj's gc will normally crash your 
process if any of its memory allocation routines are invoked from a thread it 
didn't initialize. This includes the creation of a java.lang.Thread instance 
meaning that a new thread for PyLucene can only be created from the main 
thread or from another PyLucene.PythonThread instance.

I can't be more specific about how to make this work as I don't use PyLucene 
inside a web environment myself. This question has been asked many times on 
this list before, however, and a search through the archives [1] or Google 
should tell you more...
