Make Evennia start correctly on the latest version of Twisted. There is a logging snafu that exists with the latest Twisted, and it was only dumb luck that the server started on previous versions of the framework. The ticket detailing this problem is at: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/3289

Let me know if this breaks your setup!
