Description Roy Marples 2007-09-28 08:03:05 UTC 
Which causes issues with Gentoo's new boot system as it expects a pidfile to be created in a second or two of the daemon forking.

create the pidfile sooner

Not a perfect patch, but it's the least intrusive and makes the error window much smaller. Ideally, the parent should write the pidfile though.

The version is CVS now creates the pid-file more rapidly in the startup sequence.
