launching slave, nothing happens

[LaszloSebo]

Found a stalled slave, but had to launch the slave from the launcher twice for it to actually start up.

The launcher log:

first launch try (nothing happened, no deadlineslave process appeared):

Strange…

Based on the logic in the Launcher, this should only happen if the Launcher thinks the slave is already running. This could be the case if the slave died and didn’t close it’s port properly. Then the next time it tried to launch the slave, everything was cleaned up, and it worked.
