Azure worker role won't start

I'm in alpha w/ a product using a backend worker role. The worker role worked about 2 weeks ago but recently I repushed some new stuff and everything seems to be OK except the worker role is not doing it's job (monitoring a message queue)...

I RDP'ed into the worker role instance and found the following event in the machine's event log:

Session "MA_ETWSESSION_RD00155D47CFD4_QueueWorkerRole_IN_0" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035

But otherwise everything is fine (seemingly).

The AppAgentRuntime log even says everything is OK:

[00001320:00000896, 2013/02/28, 21:05:21.743, 00040000] Role 847e925f39f044759cbcdb162c818553.QueueWorkerRole_IN_0 has stabilized.

I have wrapped the main parts of the worker role w/ exception handling trying to grab some mystery error and I have no clue what's doing this...

• Try to re-deploy your service with IntelliTrace enabled.
• Don't just log for your Run method, also trace anything throwing from your OnStart and OnStop method.
• Beware the static members or constructors you may have added to your class - they could fail your object instance to be created even before you get to touch OnStart method.

Other things that can mess up your startup: * Do you have all the dependencies required to load your assembly deployed to the role instance? * Have you disabled strong name verification on your dev machine and forgot to sign your assemblies when publishing?
