Howdy,

This just went out on the mailing list, but it was suggest that I should post here as well.

For some reason and I'm not completely sure of the root cause. My uneducated guess is something with epmd. It seems to be a general erlang issue. [ejabberd report](http://www.ejabberd.im/error/duplicate_name), [rabbitmq report](http://old.nabble.com/RabbitMQ-on-Mac-td28594651.html)

After `riak start` no crash is produced, but any command will see "Node is not up / not responding to pings."

However, if you run `riak console`, the crash snippet from above is produced.

If you kill -9 all riak processes, and then run `riak console`, then exit, then `riak start` the issue vanishes.

Is there a safe way we can handle this issue?

Thanks,
- Rob
