Bug#4093: start-stop-daemon fails to kill process

Maybe should it kill the process whose pid is in the pidfile, even if it does not think the executable is running? Here is an example of the problem: marin66# /etc/init.d/apache stop no /usr/sbin/apache found; none killed. marin67# cat /var/run/apache/apache.pid 12707 marin68# ps -ax|grep 12707
