saltstack/salt — Issue #688: worker_threads not honored entirely? pgrp signals?

hello, with salt 0.9.6 via pip:

when I start the salt-master nondaemonized, I have 8 processes.

when starting the master with worker_threads=1 in the master config file, I still have 8 processes.

when changing the default opt in config.py to 1, I now have 4 processes.

1) why isn't the configuration setting honored?
2) is there more recent code to offer a pidfile for the pid that handles signalling the entire process group for graceful shutdown? I recall some pidfile work but didn't see the extent yet.
