I am tagging the bug appropriately.

For the record of the BTS: We tried debugging this quite verbosely and
I ended up sshing to Bruce's host to find out what was going on.
Unfortunately, we were not able to reproduce the real issue but only
the symptom, by removing the pidfile manually.

However, removing the pidfile manually may reproduce the symptom, but
that symptom in that case has a clear cause, which does not aid in
debugging the real issue.

If somebody else sees the behavior Bruce has seen as well, please
report here.

If no reports come in, I'll close this bug by the end of November 2006.

Greetings
Marc
