This might happen if it crashes before the command line is processed by 
the startup code.

Other than that, I don't see anything special in the traceback you 
posted.

Then why didn't you post the symified traceback here?  Please do.  The 
startup code is about 15K, and it's very hard to look for possible 
problems without any clue as to where did it crash.  Please help us help 
you.
