Comment (by mitchb):
So, this happened 6 years ago. However, the init script (so quaint and
2000s; of
course it's autogenerated into a systemd unit now) still has two blocks of
code
mucking around with PID files that say they should be removed when this
very bug
gets addressed. They seem to interfere with the daemon starting (perhaps
I needed
to do more experimenting to see if that was truly the problem). However,
the
daemon does start up and write a PID file with them ripped out, so they
should be
ripped out now. Optionally, we could convert to a native systemd service
unit,
but that's obviously a little more work.
