I think the restart bug is finally fixed

I finally think the long standing restart bug is now fixed in CVS!

The problem was that if the stderr and stdout from the original start
were dead (because the starting user logged out and the terminal no
longer existed), SkunkWeb would die on swmgr restart.  

The problem was twofold.  First, skunkweb.py, on exception was
writing something to the now-bogotified stderr which would itself
raise an exception (so you wouldn't see the real problem).  Now, it
logs the existing exception first, then writes to stderr -- if that
fails, that's ok.  Second, there were cases where it was trying to
redirect stderr/out to logfiles more than once, whereby the
Redirector instance has no isatty attribute, and it would fail.  Now
it checks to see that sys.__stderr__ == sys.stderr (and similarly for
stdout) before redirecting them.

I also saw something with a bind() call that failed, though that may
have been something else, but I put a retry in the bind so that if
you do swmgr stop; swmgr start, the starting skunkweb will try
binding for about 5 seconds or so before giving up.

Please beat up on this code to see if the bug is indeed squashed.

Thanks,
Drew
