I don't know if this is still an issue with 0.6, but with 0.5, if I 
try to start roundup-server with the -d option from the 
command line on a unix box, it will take the command, give 
no errors, and return me to the command line.  However, 
the server starts and immediately quits.  Sometimes this 
takes as long as 2 minutes, sometimes less.  I have 
confirmed this behavior multiple times.

Passing the '-l' flag as well and pointing it to a file solves the 
problem, however.  For illustration purposes, here is what I 
did:

This fails:

dba% roundup-server -d pidfile roundup=/opt/trackers/
support/

This works:

dba% roundup-server -d pidfile -l logfile roundup=/opt/
trackers/support/
