I would track this down, this is likely the source of the problem.  My
guess is that there is a lock file sitting somewhere with "432" in it.
What is process 432?  I get this from everybuddy frequently the time because
it doesn't remove the lock file when I logout from gnome and then
thinks it is already running when it isn't.
