I'm not sure this is implied by the wording. Regardless, --kill functions by reading the pid_file and sending a SIGTERM to the mpd process. start-stop-daemon (as called by our init script) sends SIGTERM, waits 5 seconds, then sends SIGKILL. If your system is extremely loaded, perhaps MPD does not respond to the SIGTERM within 5 seconds. Try changing the value given for --retry. If this solves a reproducible problem for you, I'll consider increasing it. However, if your system seems fine otherwise, it would be helpful if you could examine closely what is going on during the timeout. It may be a sign of some other problem. -- things change.
