The problem is that cron has probably hardcoded pidfile as
/var/run/crond.pid and ignores --pidfile argument that start-stop-daemon
tries to pass it.
Thus whenever cron is started it creates /var/run/crond.pid, but during
shutdown it searches for /var/run/cron.pid.
The solution is either change PIDFILE variable in /etc/init.d/cron or make
cron able to use some variable passed to it instead of hardcoded value.
