It is not completely harmless---it breaks logrotate for me. Logrotate 
fails to reload the daemon  after rotating the logs, and it spams my 
mailbox with errors.

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
pkill: pidfile not valid
Try `pkill --help' for more information.


And when running the post-rotate command that's in 
/etc/logrotate.d/clamav-freshclam I get the following:

 # /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam reload-log 
[....] Reloading ClamAV virus database updater: freshclampkill: pidfile not valid
Try `pkill --help' for more information.
 failed!
