Hi Thijs,
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you! I have tried this out and
discovered that it does not work:
$ sudo cat /var/run/mailman/mailman.pid

Looking at the source code for mailmanctl, it seems that all it does is
to send a SIGHUP to the master mailman process... so it looks like there
is something else going on here.
Please let me know if you need any more information!
BTW, would you consider fixing this in a stable update for 4.0r3--once
we discover the correct solution, of course?
