This looks like a permission problem. The default Ubuntu config drops privileges, but /var/run seems to be writable by root only. As part of the startup processing improvement, we moved writing the pid file down to when we actually know the system could start up. This interferes with settings on Ubuntu. I'll check on other platforms as well.
