Not throwing an error?

[Bill Rees]

I'm running the daemon with the following

def thesetup(st_out, mf, xf, pidfile):
        dmon = daemon.DaemonContext(
                working_directory='/',
                umask=0o002,
                pidfile = lockfile.FileLock(pidfile),
        )

        dmon.signal_map = {
                signal.SIGHUP:  hup,
                signal.SIGQUIT: quit,
                signal.SIGINT:  interrupt,
        }
        dmon.stdout = st_out
        dmon.files_preserve = [mf, xf]
        return dmon

and a pidfile already exists in /var/run/immortal.pid.

Once running the process is stuck here, but no error is thrown so the
daemon can't detect the problem.  Is there a way to see the error?
