Here this problem also appears, but rather seldom... then you've to wait 
some minutes until SER writes "removing spare zombie" IIRC (I'm not 
sure) into it's logs before you can successfully retry again. It happens 
when I remove the alias via the fifo and then add it again.
My current workaround is storing aliases also in a backup table and 
periodically check inconsistencies between the alias table and the 
backup table, because aliases are added via web interface (uses fifo 
commands) by our ccare-guys who don't check if it's really correctly 
written (since the fifo returns OK).
