  So it *does* eventually start.  Do you change the configuration
between the start attempts?  If not, then it's difficult to say why it
starts one time, and then not another.

  Maybe it's port re-use timers?  Or something like the FreeBSD Jail issue?

  Is there a ktrace functionality on your system to see which system
calls it's doing, and what the results are?
