I've now checked the source code. Unfortunatly, I did not check the contents of the .pid file before deleting it. However, I can see from my directory listing that the length was only 3 characters. Looking at the pid checking code, perhaps the 3 characters matched in part some other process number. I've attached a potential patch to avoid this.
