The problem with this is that it creates a race condition and we may
end up with two servers running in the same directory, which is bad.

The error message should only happen when a previous server has
crashed, which is a critical error (the server should never crash no
matter what the app does). In that case you should also have a core
file in the same directory as the socket, which you can use to debug
and fix the crash.
