There's an expectation that (1) you won't randomly clober some process
that happens to wind up with the pid from your pidfile, and (2) I kind
of expect that after I say reload, there's a running daemon, or an error.

One could argue that it's not a bug, but I'd resist wishlist... normal
maybe?  I'll grant that serious may be a bit over the top. :(
