  Gentoo Linux 2.6.10 kernel

  alsa-driver-1.0.10
  jack -0.100.7
  qjackctl-0.2.19a

  Nah... jack isn't really jacked. I just keep having a strange
 occurance.

  Everytime i start jack for the first time I get this message....

  cannot write to jackstart sync pipe 4 (Bad file descriptor)
  ...
  jackd: wait for startup process exit failed
  jackd 0.100.7

  and a pop-up in qjackctl that reads "Could not connect to JACK server as
 client. Please check the messages window for more info." 
You probably have multiple versions of jack installed. Both in /usr and in
/usr/local/

Have you by any chance built jackd yourself (without specifying
--prefix=/usr to the "configure" script) and installed a version of jackd
from your distribution?

If yes, you should remove the one you don't want to use. Either remove the
package installed from your distribution via rpm or apt-get or whatever your
distro uses, or do a "make uninstall" from the jackd source directory you
built & installed jackd from.
