Hi,
I am unsure whether this is fixed in xvfb 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7.2,
because I am experiencing the symptoms that xvfb fails to start
with multiple concurrent invocations on a single host.
(We're using xvfb-run in job scripts submitted to the gridengine queueing
system,
which schedules as many jobs as cores on one host).
I have attached the output of sh -x xvfb-run, please let me know
if I missed something obvious, or whether I should provide more information,
and whether this should be opened as a new bug.
Yours,
Steffen
