If the PID file already exists at startup, truncate to zero-length before

attempting to re-use it.  Otherwise if the new PID is shorter than the
previous one the file will be corrupted by the rewrite (harmlessly the way it
is being read by this code, but problematically for anything that expects to
be able to run something similar to /bin/kill `cat /path/to/pid.file`)
