Thanks for reporting this.
The problem seems to be that esd is not getting killed at the end of a
session, and so leaves its socket file around for the next session to
stumble into. It looks like dustbuster, which runs and waits for esd,
sends it a HUP signal at the end of session, which causes esd merely to
reset itself and continue; we need to send it a TERM signal to have it
clean up and exit.
