Expected behavior: running multiple instances of nmcontrol with the same data directory should result in an error.
Observed behavior: Starting multiple instances of nmcontrol doesn't produce an error. Instead, multiple python processes will exist. Sending the stop command will stop one of them; multiple stop commands are necessary to stop all of them.
I think this bug was responsible for a bug report I received regarding FreeSpeechMe.
