This is a little odd...

This backtrace suggests that an assertion failed in FSYNC_sync().  The only 
assert in FSYNC_sync occurs if the fileserver is unable to bind the fssync 
port after trying for about 25 seconds.  If you see this assert, you should 
also see 5 messages in the log about failing to bind the port; these should 
include an error code thay may point you in the right direction.

Is it possible you already have another fileserver running, or something 
else bound or connected to port 2040 ?
