Hm, I suspect this is the wrong solution.  I wonder why /var/run/ is
cleaned after NFS is mounted.  As far as I know, we do not support
/var/run/ mounted on NFS.  Perhaps the fix is to drop that cleaning
after NFS is mounted?

I wonder why innd.pid is handled specially.  According to #272066, it
was present in 2005.  I find nothing about it in the changelog. :( I
suspect we want to skip all *.pid, not just innd.pid and portmap.pid,
if we are going to skip pid files.

Happy hacking,
