And if it is already running when the service is requested, does the
service proceed normally?  If you can create a debug version of it, you
can insert something to make it hang at main().  It is possible, of
course, that it doesn't even get that far--for example, it could die
during load with a dyld error.  There are various ways of diagnosing
dyld errors, but I'm afraid I'm not sure offhand how to get that to
happen with a requested launch like this.
