The container did not start without /dev/shm either.

Actually I did not have /dev/shm mounted or in my /etc/fstab until
Michael Warfield suggested he had a similar problem caused when
/dev/shm was mounted so I tried to see if toggling between mounted and
not mounted caused it to work at least 1 time.

I have not had this issue with 0.6.4 or 0.6.3 in the few hours (6 to
12) I have tested each.

Thanks,
