For the records, a bug was introduced in r1616 related to this file:
~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/TextMate.pid
If that file exists and contains a process ID of a running process, TextMate will not start.
This should be rare, since process IDs are not re-used (before the counter wraps) and TextMate does delete the file on quit — but e.g. a machine shutdown w/o properly shutdown can cause the problem to arise.
