  Strange, this might be due to threading, because otherwise the socket
creation is a system call and atomicity of the operation is garanteed
by the kernel. I didn't yet tried to debug the gamin problem with 
gnome-session, I will try today. Did you use gamin CVS checkout ? I fixed
a couple or bugs yesterday.
