9i RAC Node won't start

I've got a three-node 9.2.0.6 RAC running (fairly successfully) on Red Hat 3.0 AS QU4. We shut down the third instance using srvmgl stop instance -d <dbid> -i <instance_id>. So far, so good. As the Oracle user, stopped the gsd with gsdctl stop. So far, so good. As root, issued kill oracm. It worked.  

Now however, if I (as root) go to $ORACLE_HOME/oracm/bin and run ./ocmstart.sh, I can't get the oracm process to start. Ergo, the gsd won't start, ergo the instance won't start. The last few lines of the cm.log look like this:

Anybody have any ideas? (Besides moving to 10g)
