Yes, I think this due to the lock file code.

OsInit() does a LockServer() before OsVendorInit() (which is where I'd tried 
moving the call to winCheckDisplayNumber() to initially).  I couldn't really 
see a simple way of moving this check earlier, since it needs to be after 
ProcessCommandLine() so we know what the display number is, hence the rather 
in-elegant solution :(

I don't really quite get what the lock files and the mutex are doing for us, 
the server will still fail at the socket bind if there's already a duplicate 
server on the same display number.
