I don't really understand the hub code or config well enough to be  
sure, but I believe this isn't happening (no evidence of java  
HeadlessExceptions, so far as I can tell). Also, I think this kind of  
problem is more common on Mac OS X than on linux servers, where  
virtual displays, etc, are commonplace.

The only thing I noticed from the logs is that the problem started to  
happen on July 24, a day after some kind of package update, where a  
lot of apache-related packages got installed/upgraded. I have no idea  
whether this is at all relevant :o.
