Activity stuck on Attempting Startup

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compile, Upload, Shutdown, Deploy, Startup a Live Activity multiple times.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The activity starts up successfully every time assuming there are no bugs in 
the Java or Python code to prevent it from starting up.
I am making incremental updates only to the javascript that runs in the Chrome 
browser, and after repeating the steps above about ten times, The controller 
needs to be shutdown and re-started in order for the activity to successfully 
go into 'startup' state.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I.S. 1.3.1 (master and controller), OSX 10.7 for the controller, OSX 10.7.2 for 
the master.

Please provide any additional information below.
When I attempt to shutdown the activity while it is in this "attempting 
startup" state, nothing will happen.
The activity I am re-deploying is a BaseRoutableRosWebActivity. I have 
experienced a similar problem with a BaseRoutableRosWebServerActivity as well, 
but was not paying attention close enough to create a bug report.

Here are the logs from the controller. The end of the log is where I shutdown 
the controller via the I.S. web admin after attempting to startup the Live 
Activity 15 minutes earlier. 

I should mention, this also affected the running of the activity. In this 
particular example, some Applescript is run to fullscreen Chrome after the 
websocket connection is established between the I.S. script and the browser. 
When the Live Activity was stuck in "attempting startup", the Chrome browser 
never went full screen.

I wanted to confirm, After I re-started the controller (shutdown via the I.S. 
web admin and started up via SpaceOperations), when I clicked 'startup' on the 
Live Activity (without uploading or deploying a new version) it started up fine.

So this works with any activity? Do you have some idea of the number of times 
it needs to be redeployed before it happens?
