what I meant was - would you prefer a patch that removes the daemon function so
we write the pidfile in the parent pid just after forking, which solves the race
OR write the parent pid to the pidfile before the daemon call as well which also
solves the race.

I'm happy to cut another patch, just asking which way of working it would be
preferable? At this point I'm personally favoring removing the daemon function
as it's not supported on all platforms, so should make the code slightly more
readable anyway.
