Actually, unless some other condition is met (I had previously crashed
Ardour as per "0002799: crash on zooming into tape track"), it turns out
that Jack does _not_ die with signal 12 even though mlock() fails, so
checking errno is not a reliable way to make sure that Ardour can start
working. And jack_activate() keeps returning 0 (success).

Will dig more.


All the best,
