@ERROR

[Dave Dykstra]

Maybe the person on the other end is running their own --daemon server due
to a lack of understanding?

I suggest you use a "log file" option or look in your syslog to see if you
can see the error message, but as far as I can tell that lock file is only
used when "max connections" is set to something greater than zero, and the
default is zero.
