Mailman should detect stale lock files, all by itself. The whole _point_ of
having a pid in a lock file is so that you can detect when the lockfile
owner is dead and override the lock. Requiring admins to handle this
manually, especially when stale lockfiles happen frequently (at least under
2.0.5), is silly.
