Today, to my surprise, I seem to have hit upon some

attempts to launch a server (via the command-line) fail with the message

have successfully started and stopped a couple dozen instances of JACK
before that happened (only ever one at a time, though).
Quick search through the Jack code shows that this message results from
Jack attempting to be helpful that ends up being unhelpful:
case ENOSPC:
fprintf (stderr, "too many servers already active\n");
exit (2);
...
#define ENOSPC 28 /* No space left on device */
You have a 'disk-full' condition. This most likely has nothing to do
with having "too many servers already active".
Jack needs to use strerror() instead.
