New description:

 Starting a node where there's a port conflict causing the binding to fail
 is a silent failure.

 Usually it's manhole that gets me, and while the twistd.log contains the
 error, all you get out of /bin/tahoe is "probably started"

 It would be nice if this error was louder, it's an easy mistake to make.
