Package: stunnel4
Version: 3:4.29-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

I have a system where stunnel4 is installed and configured to start at boot.  
This morning, this host was restarted unexpectedly, and stunnel4 did not start 
at boot time.

I tracked the problem down to a stale pidfile.  During the boot process, the 
old pidfile still existed.  Apparently, when the stunnel4 init script started, 
another process was running with the pid named in that file.  The init script 
hence decided that stunnel4 was already running, and did not start it.

Please implement some check that the process named in the pidfile is actually a 
stunnel4 process.  I don't know what would be appropriate in the context of 
Debian policy and/or the package itself, but something like this seems 
necessary to ensure that stunnel4 recovers well from a bad reboot like this.

Thank you for your consideration.
