Chris,

This is one I haven't seen before (although I'm responsible
for putting it in there ;-).  I'm not at a place where I
can review the code, but I'll bet the error means the semaphore
has locked the process from starting.  This is to prevent a
race condition from multiple pcgi processes being launched.

What kind of system/environment are you running on?

Best regards,
