The reason, as I found out later, was, that it tries to bind to 127.0.0.1:8080 by default, and that port is already in use by another process on that machine.

IMO, this is a bug: when it can't bind to the port, and thus dies, this should be returned to the start script, so it can report back "FAILED".
